Static Property

[victor]

Hi,
Is it possible to create a Button control as a static property, via
the Form Designer, so that the instantiating code in the wizard
generated 'InitializeComp onent()' need not to be modified?
I mean, I can add 'static' at the public declaration but then I also
need to change the auto-generated InitializeCompo nent() section
(remove the 'this') which is not advisable.

Any ideas? Thanks!

<victor>,

I don't know if you can do it from the designer. I really doubt it. I don't
see how a control can be a static.

You can create many instances of a form. Each control has underlaying native
windows, which can have only one parent.
I don't see how you can share a control between forms.

Even if you say that you are going to guarantee only one istance (singleton)
the windows forms designer is not meant to create singleton forms.

Re: Static Property

Fine, thank you for responding. I was afraid of this outcome ...;
well, I'll try another way. Maybe a class argumented with the base
form will do .... .
cheers.
