• Windows Forms Customizing TableLayoutPanelDesigner

  Hello, I'm developing a custom control that is to be used in a custom forms designer that I created. The control should have exactly two cells behaving like cells in a TableLayoutPanel, so I thought I'd build my control as an extension to TableLayoutPanel. Now I need to customize its designer, since I do not need all the design-time options that TableLayoutPanelDesigner offers. Problem is: TableLayoutPanelDesigner is an internal class, and can therefore not be inherited! Now I was wondering what my options are... I was thinking about developing a custom designer from scratch (extending from ParentControlDesigner). How to achieve ...Show All

At Designe time, I want to update the Text property with AltText if it is changed. AltText shows up correctly in the Property browser and if I drag a control onto the form's design surface it correctly displays AltText. I also update the standard Text property to the new value. The problem is the Text property in the Property browser is not immediately updated when I do that. If the Text property is not physically showing in the browser when I change AltText it is correct when I ...Show All
