it is for a windows form, and i'll remember the iframe for web side
the problem was not the custom control, i fiddled around for a while
and finally found the solution
when you drop ur custom control on to a new form
be sure to right click and bring to front, then the
drop part will not bleed through controls under the
drop part of the custome control
Thank you very much for you help
