Hi,

How can I hide (or at least make readonly) an inherited property on a windows control subclass and prevent someone from overriding that property at the instance level on a form?

Silly example to illustrate: I have a button subclass and I want the text property to say "Can't Change Me!", so I set that in the constructor of my class - no problem. I want to prevent a programmer from changing that Text when they drop this button on a form. Ideally - the "Text" property shouldn't even show up in the properties window any longer. The button SHOULD display "Can't Change Me!" at runtime?

How can I accomplish this? I have played with ReadOnly and Browsable attributes to no avail so far. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks,
