[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM E670: How to use the grid designer when the grid is inside a UserControl.]
Tried this in DevExpress version 17.1.6, VS 2017. Doesnt work. Here's a screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/HaRLzXO.png
The grid control looks locked even though Locked property is set to false.
Hi Nawfal,
The issue is likely occurs since the "Enable Visual Inheritance" option is not enabled on your machine. Find the "DevExpress | WinForms Controls" menu in Visual Studio, and click "Change Design-Time Settings…" . In the invoked dialog, click Enable Visual Inheritance check box to enable the option. Make sure Visual Studio is running under administrative privileges.
Note, however, that the GridView control's designer will not be available once an inherited user control containing GridView is placed to the main form.
Regards,
Alisher
