I am inheriting from a usercontrol that has a Toolstrip control on it, but when I open the design view of the child class I get the following error for each element in the inherited ToolStrip : -

Error getting RadControl item glyphs: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  at Telerik.Wincontrols.Design.RadItemActionListGlyph..ctor(RadItemGlyph itemGlyph)
  at Telerik.Wincontrols.Design.RadItemDesigner.EnsureItemGlyph()
  at Telerik.Wincontrols.Design.RadItemDesigner.GetGlyphs(GlyphSelectionType selectionType)
  at Telerik.Wincontrols.RadControlDesigner.GetGlyphs(GlyphSelectionType selectionType)

Hello Sean,

Thank you for your inquiry. We checked the scenario with VS 2008 and our latest release and everything seems to work. Sending us a sample application demonstrating it will be very helpful in researching the issue further.

The inherited user control should be locked for editing ( you should see a lock in upper left corner of the control). Also we fixed a similar (or perhaps the same) bug in one of our previous releases.

To help you better in our support system, please ask your employer to include you as a licensed developer. Our website FAQ section contains more information on that.

Greetings,

I have investigated further and found the anwser.  I had changed all the 'private' to 'protected' in the parent class to allow accees for the child classes.  When I changed to ToolStrip controls back to private everything worked fine.  This is not an issue for non-Telerik controls.
