I'm working on a tab page inherited from System.Windows.Forms.TabPage. In an effort to encapsulate the details of the tab page from the enclosing dialog, I'm avoiding the more typical use of the stock tab page, with elements on the tab page as members of the enclosing control.
I'd like to be able to manipulate the layout of this control visually, much like a form, but the design view only shows an iconic representation of the enclosed controls. As a hack, I can change my object to derive from Form instead, make my layout changes, and change the derivation back, removing a line of designer generated code regarding the base size, but this is a bit of a pain, and error prone. Does anyone know what criteria (aside from derivation) the designer uses to determine what layout editor to show? The framework examples for designers don't do anything graphically, AFAIK.
