ControlDesigner for TabControl

[Rachel Suddeth]

I would like to write a designer verb for a class I have that inherits from
TabControl. I figure the only way to do that without breaking the special
designer stuff that works for TabControl would be to inherit from whatever
Designer class is currently used for the TabControl. But I can't find out
what that is. There must be one... I would hope it wouldn't be sealed...
anyone know what it's called or how to get information about it? Or know of
another way to go about this?

First, quickly go to http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ and download
the greatest .Net utility ever, Lutz Roeder's Reflector.

Then run it, and navagate to "System.Windows .Forms.TabContr ol".
Right-click and choose "Disassembl er". Read the information you desire
("System.Window s.Forms.Design. TabControlDesig ner, System.Design,
Version=1.0.500 0.0") from the new panel.

Ugh. It's not sealed, but has "internal" visibility, so I don't think I can
inherit from it.

Re: ControlDesigner for TabControl

Bless you, Mick, this is perfect. I was looking at doing something like this
(inheriting from ParentControlDe signer) but was afraid my boss would think
it was too big a job & wouldn't let me (could've done enough to get by with
standard TabPages plus an ExtenderProvide r or two, but that would've been
awkward.) But with sample code, it's a no-brainer to do it the right way :-)

And you give me code to copy for the cancelable SelectedIndexCh anging event
that we were going to have to write anyway (can't think why that wasn't
supplied in the first place - seems like an obvious need.) I could just kiss
you!
(shhh, don't tell my husband i said that)
