How do i enherit forms?
-
I am trying to make a base form that has the controls that i want every other form in my program to have...i thought maybe i could just build that form and then have my other forms inherit from it so they would have those same controls and then i could add the extra stuff that the indevidual form needed...but it wont let me open my forms that inherit from the base form in the designer......Im not sure what if anything i can do about this, but if you have any ideas pleas let me know. Thank you in advance ;) Pablo

Right...this is a strange problem, im starting to think maybe something is wrong with my install of Visual Studio...but everything else seems to be working...maybe i should reinstall it anyways just to be sure its not the probelm. Pablo
