Yes, I want to have container control I write behave like an intrinsic control 
with respect to subclassing... 
In other words to be clear to everbody let's say under the hood a listbox was a 
ContainerControl composed of a number of individual controls (a cavas, 
scrollbars, placards etc) ... With the existing Listbox I can subclass it and 
modify /add to /subtract from it's default behavior in a reusable fashion in 
subclasses.
I want to do the same type of things for ContainerControls I create out of 
combinations of built-in controls.

I will when i have the time (This one will be a aliitle tricky to write up I 
think and I want to include examples)
But as I said a curory test makes it look like this is already supported by the 
complier (I'll check that more carefully before filing the report) and it's 
only the IDE/Layout editor that is the issue if you:
1) Create the parent container control. add componet controls and some glue 
code, ecets stc
2) Create a new generic new Class and set it's super to the above container 
control
Thanks,
