I am trying to enable visual inheritance for DevExpress controls in Visual Studio 2012, in a Windows 8.1 x64 environment. I found your knowledge base article
How to enable visual inheritance for Developer Express controls but it is out-of-date for my environment.
Is this still supported and if so, how do I accomplish it?
Hello Louis,
You can enable Visual Inheritance in Visual Studio 2012 in the DevExpress->WinForms Controls v1x.x->Change Design-Time Settings… menu. Attached is a small video that illustrates how to do it.
Please let me know if you have any problems with visual inheritance on your forms.
Hi Louis,
I see that you found a solution. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
