PreFilterProperties

[danielk_]

I have built a custom gradient form as part of a windows control library. What I would like to do is to hide the BackColor property from the forms designer (since it has now been replaced by BackColor1 and BackColor2). Currently when I create a new inherited form which inherits from my GradientForm in the designer pane I can see BackColor, BackColor1, and BackColor2. With a windows control I would use something like the following to remove BackColor:

internal class GradientPanelDesigner : ScrollableControlDesigner
    {
        public GradientPanelDesigner()
        {
        }
	
        protected override void PreFilterProperties(System.Collections.IDictionary properties)
        {
            properties.Remove("BackColor");
            properties.Remove("BackgroundImage");
        }
    }

Is there an equivalent for a Windows Form? thanks for help
