App design and inherited forms

[bill7771]

Hello;

Are poeple using inherited forms out there and if so, has the design worked out for you? I've played with them and when the parent form is a dll, there seems to be an issue with the designer in the consuming project such that you need to wrap the parent form class in an interface; at least that's what I tried to solve the issue.

But aside from that, are you finding the concept useful in that it saves time. Also, can anyone suggest a rule of thumb that may indicate when inherited forms are most useful?

Thanks,

Bill
