The ToolStrip designer only knows about the ToolStripButton class, not your subclass. &nbsp;You will need to create the button and add it to the ToolStrip in code somewhere in the constructor of your form. &nbsp;I think you'll need to set the AcceptButton in code as well, because the TypeEditor for it won't be able to see your custom button.Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:03:04 GMTStrataFrame Team
