Hi Schneider,

I would like to see the Form in the control toolbox.

Could you tell me what the "control toolbox" is?

Toolbox where all the controls are: Scroll Bar, TextBox, ...


Why should the IDE decide what form to create.

VS has several item templates, e.g Windows Form, Inherited Form and so on.
It's we that decide what form to create by selecting the menu Project>Add
Windows Form and form template.

I'm suggesting a different way.

The thought is I could build a MyForm of type Windows.Form, and it shows up
on the Toolbox.
When a user clicks on MyForm the designer shows the MyForm much like it does
now, except it's a custom form, with whatever special features I added.



I could create custome Form/Controls with different needs.

You can create a custom Form in a project but you cannot add the custom
form to the Toolbox. But for custom control you create, you can add it to
the Toolbox.

If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
