ToolStripControlHost designer usage

I've created a class that extends ToolStripControlHost.  Is there a way to make it useable in the design view

I'm hoping that I'll either be able to add it to the toolbox so I can drag a new instance onto a toolstrip, or that I'll be able to go it to show up in the toolstrip's "Items Collection Editor" dialog, inside of the "Select item and add to list" combobox.

Thanks,
Robert

    Yep, we're planning on doing this in Whidbey - you'll be able to select your custom item like you would select a base type (ToolStripButton,  etc)

    There is not a way to do it in the Beta release, we're considering adding this type of support in the future.  

    You can send some feedback to http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/ and vote for it to be added.

    hi, is there a way to make the ToolStrip movable by making a button example {X} when i click on it & the whole window moves with it

    im trying to use the ToolStrip, as a border bar its set on top i want to make a graphical window such as the mac window form, i thought after i inserted the code to move the main form1, it would include the toolstrip also, any help

    hope you understand,
