Changing visually inherited objects in descendent

[Guest]

VS2005, VB.

I put some buttons in winform A. I then create form B which inherits A. I
want to move the buttons to a different location in form B, but find all
properties of the button in the descendant set to readonly.

Is there a way I can adjuste these properties in the descendant? This would
make the visual inheritance much more useful.

change the access level of the controls in the base form from Friend to
Protected (or protected friend)

hth,
Alan.
