Hi there,

Is there a way to be able to change the Controls that are inside a Form you inherit?

For example;

Say I have a Form that contains a Button. If I now inherit this Form, I want to be able to resize or move this Button during Design time.

Kind regards,

Maybe this one can help:

Look at accesibilty levels:

Declared accessibility	Meaning
public	Access is not restricted.
protected	Access is limited to the containing class or types derived from the containing class.
internal	Access is limited to the current assembly.
protected internal	Access is limited to the current assembly or types derived from the containing class.
private	Access is limited to the containing type.

You can do it from code in inherited form (in initializecomponent or load event).
Can you explain in detail why you have to move buttons or other objects (maybe you can use anchor to move button leaving them attached to an edge of the form).

Hi

Stefano Benedetti

Thanks for the replies, changing the property Modifiers to Protected did the job.

What is the difference between Public and Protected?

Kind regards,
