creating an inherited treeview, but InitializeComponent is not called?!?

creating an inherited treeview, but InitializeComponent is not called?!?

Visual Studio32
If someone could try this little test I would be most greatful:

In a project, create a new class.

Make this class inherit from TreeView

Switch to designer mode and drop a ContextMenuStrip onto it.

Switch back to code mode and it will have created the variable for

ContextMenuStrip as you would expect, along with "Private Sub

InitializeComponent" for all the initialization stuff.

Now the problem is that normally the InitializeComponent sub is called

from the New sub of the class. However, in this case there is no New

sub because the designer hasn't created one, which means the

initialization code is never called unless you manually add one.

Is this just me being crazy, or is this a bug?

Thanks in advance

Just call InitializeComponent from the constructor of your class. Because

you didn't create this class using a designer, it didn't automatically

generate the code to call InitializeComponent in the constructor.

Hi Andrew,

Yes, thats what I have done, but I just would have thought that the

IDE would have been clever enough to work out that the

InitializeComponent is never called, and thus create a 'new sub'.

Thanks for you help
