Hi, Ive made a user control and it works great but the problem is that I dont want it to display on my form when I drag it in from the toolbox. I want it to be like how the timer control works where it doesnt have a gui, as apposed to how a label control works.

Im sure im just not seeing something silly.

Thanks :)

You need to derive from Component rather than Control or UserControl
