  Hi,

  I got a Control that inherits from FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread and at the time to use the control on a form it throwed this:

  

  Any idea how can I make it that I will be able to use the Spread Designer on a inherit control?

  Hi,

  It is by design. The spread designer does not support controls created by inheriting spread.
  
  As a workaround, you can use the standalone designer application located at the spread installation location (C:\Program Files (x86)\GrapeCity\Spread.NET 15\Windows Forms\v15.0.20211.0\bin), to design your spread and then save it to XML, then you can open this XML in your program using the Open method of FpSpread.
