Hi,

I am implementing custom form designer that will allow to design user forms
in my application.

What I want to achieve is a form (panel) that is able to switch between
runtime and design mode.

I have implemented IDesignerHost and related interfaces. Also I have added
most of the services that designer may need.

I was able to put my panel into some kind of design mode: controls does not
take a focus and

mouse cursor become a cross like in VS.

However controls does not looks like selected when I click on them. Also I
can neither move nor resize them.

I did implement ISelectionService so I am receiving events from it.

What I did wrong?

Thanks,

Tomasz Dħbrowski
