remove usercontrol methods

[sunaj]

Hi,

I've made a usercontrol in vb.net (framework version 1.1) and it works as it is suposed. However, when I use it it it has a looong list of methods and properties that I have not defined and I would prefer to get rid of them (because I can never find the ones I have defined in the long list). How do I do that?

thx in advance

declare a sub/function w/ the same name as the one you want to get rid of, except declare it:

Private Shadows [sub/function/property] [name]

Hi Rick,

Thx for your anwser. That might work, but a quick count reveals that there are ~150 methods and properties and it would take me close to forever to dig up all the necessary information to do that.

e.g.

        Private Shadows Function AccessibilityObject() As System.Windows.Forms.AccessibleObject

        End Function

requires me to add a reference to accessibility.dll - to get rid of something that I don't need!

This must be a common problem, but I can't find anything on the web on similar questions - have I done something out of the ordinary to have ~150 properties and methods that I do not need on my usercontrol?

Actually, it's not that common of a problem, you should just ignore the extra's for the most part. Everything inherits from object, which means every class will have .GetType and .ToString, by the time you get to a user control, you've inherited from atleast 3 classes. Those classes do all of the fundamental work for you (ie drawing the form, accepting input, events, etc)
