[2005] inherited form

hi all,

i just recently upgraded to VS 2005 and i'm having some problems.
i create a base form library class with a toolstrip and menustrip on it. i set their modifiers to protected (also tried public) but when i add the inherited form to my windowsapplication, i cant activate their event. basically i cant get to their event. in vb.net 2003 i simply double-click the control on the inherited form and it will be bring my right to its event procedure. this step doesnt seem to work in vb 2005.

can someone help?

thanks.
