I am starting to think my reason for an inherited form is flawed.
My original concept was this:
Create a form with a panel near the top with a button in the top right
corner, and then a panel in the middle.
( Basically a basic template of all my forms ).
So I created that form and compiled it.
Then I added an inherted form and made it inherit from the orig form.
Now I try to add a button to the main panel and cannot.
So I go back to the main form, change the modifiers from "Friend" to
"Protected" and then recompile and then go back to the designer.
Now I can add buttons to the main panel.
But now I can also resize the main panel, change the main panel, do anything
to the main panel. I wanted the panel to 'hold position',
and make it 'not changable' but still add items ontop of it.
So my initial idea does not work.
It seems I should just create a dummy form in my project, and when I want to
create a new form, just copy it.
As there really is no difference by me setting almost all the items on the
form to be "Protected".
Thanks,
