Stephane,

I wouldn't have handled the maximize/minimize boxes that way. A cleaner way is to handle it in the custom Resizable property's set method:

public bool Resizable
{
   get {return this._Resizable;}
   set {
	this._Resizable = value;
	this.MaximizeBox = this._Resizable;
	this.SizeGripStyle = this._Resizable ? System.Windows.Forms.SizeGripStyle.Show : System.Windows.Forms.SizeGripStyle.Hide;
	this.FormBorderStyle = this._Resizable ? System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable : System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedSingle;
	this.MinimizeBox = this._Resizable;
       }
}

>>The base class's constructor executes in it's entirety before the derived class's constructor, so you wouldn't be able to put a call to an AfterInitializeComponent() in the constructor of the base class. But, a class's Load event fires next (after both constructors, base and derived), so you could put a call to an AfterInitializeComponent() in your base class's Load event handler (which will execute in it's entirety before the derived class's Load event).
