Make a component on runtime.

[Mr. X.]

Hello.
I want to design a screen.
There are some compoents on screen, which I can drop on.
I.e : Button.

So, it should act as button at the design time.
How can I drop real button on the screen (a panel), and don't have a chance
to click on it (I don't want any event occurs on the new button, because it
should act as design mode).
DesignMode is readonly propery.
How can I solve the above problem ?

Thanks

Do you want to create a Windows Forms designer which users can use at
runtime to design forms?

Or do you want to create a component which doesn't have any visual
appearance at runtime, except in the components tray at design time?

The first choice.
It is like mini form designer.
