Hiding Controls at Runtime

Hi,

I'm fairly new to making ActiveX controls but not to VB so I have a pretty fair understanding of how stuff works.

What I'm trying to do is have a control that shows at design-time with a border round it, and is not visible, but interactive at run-time, much like the Image control.

I've tried putting code in various control events which have worked to an extent but I can never get the border to show again when I go back to design-time after testing the control.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have a look at this :

VB Code:

Private Sub UserControl_Show()
    If Ambient.UserMode = True Then
        MsgBox "Run-time"
    Else
        MsgBox "Design Time"
    End If
End Sub

to manipulate the property of the control you can take the help of custom property like ambient

or you can create property page.
