Base designer class for extending the design mode behavior of, and providing a root-level design mode view for, a Control that supports nested controls and should receive scroll messages.

Remarks

This designer is a root designer, meaning that it provides the root-level design mode view for the associated document when it is viewed in design mode.

You can associate a designer with a type using a DesignerAttribute. For an overview of customizing design time behavior, see Extending Design-Time Support.
