form inheritance

[Wayne]

I have two forms, frmBase and frmInherited. frmInherited inherits from
frmBase. On frmBase I have 8 controls, these 8 controls show up on
frmInherited but not always in the same position as they are on frmBase. I
have the following questions:

1) how do I fix this?
2) how do I prevent the forms on frmInherited from being moved, but yet
still allow for one of them to have it's caption changed and events assigned
to it?

I had a little trouble with form inheritance in VS2003, it is similar to your
problem, I created a base form, then inherited from it, but some components
disapeared or were in other positions. It happened because I compiled the
applications with both forms opened. I read somewhere, I do not remeber
where, that it was a VS bug, and if you close the forms before compiling it
was OK.

It really worked, when I close the forms before compiling there is no problem.

I hope it can help somehow.
