Custom theme controls not showing in designer. - Specs - Mar 28, 2016
Hey guys, im not one to usually ask for help around here, but i've run into an issue i cant seem to fix and i cant find a working solution online.
I compiled the ModernUI .dll and imported it into my project. It skins my form perfectly but when i drag on controls it doesn't display but goes onto the panel below where you usually see timers. The only thing that seemed to work was a ComboBox.
Would anyone happen to know why they wont display & possibly how to resolve the issue? Any help would be great! 🙂

I've never heard of ModernUI. Can you link us to the source?

Its the MetroFramework ModernUI, you can find it here: https://github.com/dennismagno/metroframework-modern-ui

I'm not exactly sure what's causing this. The controls seem to inherit from relevant classes.
Code
public class MetroButton : Button, IMetroControlIt may be something to do with this line (can be found in most of the controls):
Code

You may have added them incorrectly. Right click toolbox -> choose items -> browse -> select lib -> rebuild
Also have your form inherit from MetroForm instead of the standard Form control. That might have something to do with it.

Hrm. Try it on a new project and install from NuGet.
