That is a shortfall, but WPF does a lot of things that we would LOVE to
have in VFP (e.g. CSS llke Styles, much better responsiveness than our
anchors, etc.)

Hi all
Thanks for all your replies. Don't understand why Microsoft haven't sorted
visual inheritance properly.
WPF (sigh) another technology to study.

Wow...I see you created that in 2019. I can't believe what I saw...I'd
have expected it to work much better than that. VFP has been
off-support officially for 4+ years by that time yet the "old girl"
still looks better for designers given this obvious shortfall.

Coincidentally, there is also a session about using WPF in Visual
That text goes into the details of how I said to do it. Thus I agree that
it can be done and re-used.
Now the Q I have is WHY? If you have branded UI button styles? What else
are you extracting to re-use with your enhancements on time and again?

I'd definitely consider Windows Presentation Foundation over Winforms if this
inheritance thing is a problem for you, because WPF *does* support that sort of
visual inheritance, and i will set you up for WinUI going forward.

Here’s a YouTube video I made about WinForms UserControl and how it does not
work like our beloved FoxPro does.

You're not missing anything. Visual inheritance in the Windows Forms designer
does not work like VFP, Delphi or whatever. It didn't in 2002, and on
inspection still doesn't now.
This is how you do it with a UserControl
