Designer writing code for controls inherited from base Form?

Hello,

I am having a really annoying problem. I have a base form, say FormA,
and this form has some buttons on it with images (which are stored in
the resx file). I then have FormB, which inherits from FormA. FormB
for some odd <and stupid> reason, FormB desides to rewrite all the
designer generated code for the inherited controls. It also puts the
images that FormA has in it's resx into it's own resx <very annoying>.
I have MANY forms inheriting from FormA, all of which do this. I have
tried going into the InitializeCompo nent() function and deleting all
the extra-non-needed-should-be-inherited code. This fixes the problem.
Temporarily. After an unknown period of time, it messes it up again.
This is very frustrating and annoying because I cannot change the base
form and have it actually change the inheriting forms!!!! Please
Please, somebody help!

<btw... I am using VS 2002>

Sincerely, and with thanks in advance,
~Patrick Corkum

Visual Studio 2003 Designer

by: pascal | last post by:

Hi, I have created some complex form design using Visual Studio 2003 in a C# Windows Form Project. On the form I have aligned the controls using pixel precision. After that I save and then reopened the form, now the controls are not in the same position. Is the Designer not able to save the form corectly? I've even tried to lock the controls, but the problem remains the same. How can I fix this?

Forms Designer and Dynamic Panels

by: Zach | last post by:

I have a situation similar to what you see in Visual Studio Options menu. A Tree View on the left, and depending on what type of node you click it dynamically loads a panel into the right hand side of the form. It would be really nice if I could design all possible right hand side panels in the forms designer, then have some way to tell the framework "load the form represented by the class SuchAndSuchForm". What I have to resort to...

Unfortunately in VS .NET 2005 it seems that it doesn't work. What...

Custom Form working at runtime but cannot be loaded in designer

by: ThunderMusic | last post by:

Hi, I have a custom form that works fine when I debug it or run it in release mode but cannot be loaded in the designer... Actually, it can be loaded in the designer when no control is on it, but the resizing tool (in the designer) is offset both horizontally and vertically and when I put a control on it, as soon as I save, the designer throws an exception (but cannot be reproduced everytime) and the form cannot be loaded anymore unless...

Problem with visual inheritance in VS2005 designer

Hi! I have run into a problem with visual inheritance using the VS2005 designer for Windows Forms. My goal is to put business logic and common rules for our controls into its own layer (base classes) so that future changes in these controls are managed by just modifying this custom layer, and not all the controls of a particular type.

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
