I have a form with a table layout panel, a couple of lables, textboxes and a button. All the controls are "PROTECTED".

I'm adding an inherited form to my project that inherits from the above form. In the new form, I cannot change any properties on the existing controls. I've done this multiple times with other inherited forms, but for some reason, cannot on this form. Even if I go to the base form and mark everything as "PUBLIC", I cannot modify any of the existing controls.

What am I doing wrong?
