I am building a designer application using IDesignerhost.
I have to draw shapes (line, rectangle, polyline) in the designer.
For that I need to get mouse events. Mouse events are not triggered in Idesignerhost.

Can any one please help me?

The code I have is in VB, but the solution is found in the designer's GetHitTest method. During design time, this method intercepts mouse events; if it returns True it will raise the corresponding mouse event in the designed control's code; otherwise it will return False. I believe that GetHitTest returns False by default, so unless you override it your control will not process mouse events at design time.

Do an Internet search for GetHitTest and you will find more than enough examples to get you started.

Hi Gregory.Gadow,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using the microsoft sample of designerhost provided in this link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813808[^

I am having designerhost as a control not as control designer.
There is no abstract method GetHitTest to override.

Thank you,
