visual-inheritance

We know that when a Form is visually inherited, all of its controls are locked in design time. This problem requires that we place event handlers in the base form. Now what should I do if I want to place base-control event handlers in the derived Form? Since the controls are locked, approach of double clicking on the control to add an event-handler should not work. What is the industry-standard approach for event handling in case of Visual Inheritance? The designer honors the access modifiers on the base class members. You must change the Modifiers property of the base form's control from
