>John is correct, although I'd like to elaborate on his answer. The "simple" controls have to be subclassed with code. By "simple", I mean things like Buttons, TextBoxes, ComboBoxes, etc. You can sub-class more complex things, like Forms and other container-type UserControls visually.

>>I have a VFP background and I'm dipping my toes into the C# world and have immediately stumbled :)

>>I am accustomed to designing my base classes visually. For example, I subclass a native VFP button by dropping one on a form in the form designer, set the button's properties for Font, ForeColor, BackColor, Flat, etc. then save the button as a class. The button class is now available for drag and drop to other form. Simple and easy for me.
