I have a subclassed listbox.

Aside from setting it's properties in the constructor is there a way to "lock" its properties so the subclassed control doesn't even expose them?

One way to do this is to use the IDesigner.PreFilterProperties()[^] method.

This will not hide all properties, for example (from memory) it will not hide the Name property, although it works for most.

For an example of it's use take a look at the last code snippet in this article[^] of mine. There are also some links at the bottom that may (or may not :) ) be useful to you.
