Greetings & Salutations,

I have made a templated custom control (NOT data-bound), a container for the
templates & a designer for the control. After placing it on the form it
functions as expected, however I cannot edit the templates.

I have a Template Editing menu available that displays the templates I have
exposed, however when I click on a template to edit nothing happens.

I have found that the expected functions (GetTemplateContent &
CreateTemplateEditingFrame) do not get called at all. (I used
Debug.Assert(False) statements)

Since this is a pre-alpha control I have only done skeleton code for the
control/etc, but I followed the sample & I'm pretty sure that I have covered
all the main points as discussed in the help topics "Implementing a Web Forms
Template Editor" and "Web Forms Templated Data-Bound Control Designer Sample"
yet I cannot see what is going wrong.

Can anyone please help me?
.
