Dynamic Design time behavior?

[vbbartlett]

Anyone have or know of a good example of how to create a user control that dynamically displays at design time. What I mean by this is, I want the control to act similar to how it would at runtime. I would like a behavior similar to the microsoft tabbed dialog control.

In this case I am creating a Sliding Tab control and I want, at design time, the control to exand and contract... Any thoughts or suggestion?

The information in the Visual Studio help files on creating ActiveX controls has a pretty good description of this. Almost ALL controls have some design-time behavior, at least to the extent that they redraw themselves when you change their attributes.

I have went through some of those help files and did find the EditadDesignTime flag. This works but I have to context menu - edit everytime i want to expand or contract the control... is there a way to maintain this edit status all the time?
