Custom Control inheriting from a Custom Control

[Cyr1dian]

Hi,

My problem is that a custom control "newA" that inherits from a base
custom control "baseA" is not displaying any contained controls - that
were not inherited - at run time, but displays them fine at design
time.

I'll give a short example:

public class baseA: UserControl
{
//add datagrid in designer and set some properties.
}

public class newA: baseA
{
//add a second grid and some buttons next to the existing datagrid in
the deisgner.
//programatically load second grid with data depending on records
selected on the first grid
}

public class main
{
//I put the newA control on my form programatically
}

What happens:
Altough newA looks fine in the designer when the program is run only
the grid from baseA shows up. I found that the controls are actually
present and working after setting a breakpoint; they are simply not
visible (the visible property is true of course).

Additional information:
My base class is not abstract because then the designer doens't work
anymore (makes sense, just not handy). The inherited controls
contained within the base are perfectly usable when designing newA.
The grid from the base is fully functional.

I have found people having similair problem but no solutions.

All help is appreciated.

grtz,
Cyr

First thing I though of too ;)

I tried BrinToFront() and Visible=true at runtime, but to no avail.

Well, since it did turn out to be a dumb question, here's the standard
advice: post a concise-but-complete sample of code that reliably
reproduces the problem.

Given that you got no other replies, I suspect that's your best hope of
getting some useful information.

Thanks for you help anyway ;)

You're welcome...even if all I did was ask a dumb question. :)
