I'd like to inherit from a control so i can reuse some of it's base functionality, but override other parts. I tried using Shadows and creating a property over one that already existed, but the WindowsForms designer cried about the property not being there, so is there an attribute or something I can add to just make it not visible or something or am I barking up the wrong tree?

A UITypeEditor will give you total control over the properties/events etc that the Control Properties Grid will display.
Check all the UITypeEditor member functions.
The reason i said partially is that these are only hidden from the Design Grid, but will not prevent you from using them in source code.
I.E: I can hide the "MyControl.Enabled" property from the property grid, but its always possible to do : "MyControl.Enabled = false;" using code.
Its actually the ControlDesigner class that has the properties/events hiding functions.
thanks
