using Xtra Grid in an inherited Xtra Form

created 16 years ago

In my VB.Project (VS 2005) I have placed an XtraGrid on an Xtra Form (called frmA). The grid's property 'modifiers' is set to 'protected'. Then I create a new Xtra Form (called frmB). In the Designer of frmB I swap the existing line 'Inherits DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm' to 'Inherits frmA'. After refreshing/rebuilding the project the grid appears in frmB. The problem is: the grid can't be edited. It is locked. The control-box within the grid for creating views and running the designer does not appear either.
How can I handle it to make the grid editable in frmB too ?
Thanx for your answer…

    Hello Andre,
    It looks like the Visual Inheritance feature is disabled in your Visual Studio environment. To get know how to enable it, please refer to the How to enable visual inheritance for Developer Express controls article.
    Thank you,
    Paul
