Add the BrowsableAttribute[^] to the event. Simon

i think what you want is only possible if we have the visual studio code.

In your usercontrol override OnPaint like this: protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { if (this.DesignMode) this.EditButton.Text = "I'm in design mode"; base.OnPaint(e); } or do the same but for the OnPaint in your window
