Chocolate IDE for .NET

[Peter Hunter]

I am in the procces of creating a screen designing tool for an
existing application, this tool will be used by non-technical people.
The user needs to be able to add controls to a screen and move them
around. Adding controls to a form at runtime and moving/resizing is
not a problem, but I am looking for an easy way make the controls look
like they do in the IDE, in other words they don't fire the events.
short of creating a custom control for each of the controls, that
inherits the original control, I cannot find a way to do this. Any
help or ideas would be good.

Cheers
Pete

Hi,

Have a look at the implementation of SharpDevelop's Form editor:

Or you could check out this page:

His article and code are very readable (more so than SharpDevelop's..
despite claims that he copied from them ).

What do you mean by "the web designer"?
