Inheriting System.Windows.Forms.Form keeping designer

[Steve B.]

Hi,

In order to have a custom and constant look and feel, I subscribe the
"Paint" of every form in my app to a single static method somewhere in my
app.

I'd prefer building a custom "MyApp.BaseForm" with onpaint override, then
inheriting all forms from this class.
If I create such a class, I loose the designer. Is there any way to reach my
goal ?

Thanks,
Steve

Visual form inheritance is not supported. You can use conditional
compilation so at design time it inherits from form and at runtime it
inherits from your won base form:
