Custom form.

[cptHotkeys]

I want to create a custom form, for skinning an app. at the moment I have made a title bar with minimize, maximize etc (user controll), What I am also doing is just making this and dropping it onto a form, I know I could inherit from form but what im not sure of how to do, is to make my new controll a form, I can add user controlls to a normal form but I want my user control with its nice borders and title bar to able to edit in the designer, without adding it to an existing form. Can I create a custom form, "myform" and make the designer use this when I create a new windows application, rather than use the standard windows form?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the somewhat cryptic post

If you want to create a form then you do it in exactly the same way as you normally do. If you then want to inherit that form later you select Inherited Form instead of Windows Form in the Add New Item dialogue. When you create a new project just delete the default form and create a new inherited form, then set that as your startup object.
