Hello,

i just created a "base" form for my project and added a radgrid. I've set the "modifier" - property to protected (radgrid).
Now when i inherit from my base form the property - toolbox in VS 2010 is grey. (i cant edit properties).
All other controls work as expected in this case.

Is this a bug or did i forgot something?

thx for help

Hello,

What is the type of your project?, if you want to create a control you should create a class library project not a windows forms app.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Thought so,

Please change the type of your project and it will work with no problems.

Hi Guys,

Sorry Emanuel, I have to disagree unless there is something obvious I've missed. This is a VS issue with creating the visual designer for complex types. If you add a form to a class library and a grid to the form, and then inherit from the form in the class library, the visual designer remains disabled.

I would suggest using a base RadGridView which you can then easily drop onto any form from the toolbox.
Regards,
Richard

@Richard you are right,

Sorry, i don't know why i had the impression that the the problem was that you could not see the control / the control was disabled in the toolbox in a different project.
This is what happens if you create a custom control in a forms application and you try to use that control in a different application.

For this case i would suggest using just custom controls.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
