I am trying to make a visual designer similar to visual studio, but for layout purposes. How do I put controls in design mode so they do not receive mouse events and my parent designer receives them instead? For example if they user drops a button control on my designer form and they click on it I don't want the button to depress, so how do I get that message first so I can handle it for purposes like putting a sizing handles around it.
Thanks in advance, Eric You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
