I want to do the following:

1) I want to create a custom composite control, i.e. a "dialog" with a few elements, call it "DialogBase".
2) I then want to derive custom dialogs from DialogBase, adding some other controls to the dialog, call it "Derived1", "Derived2" etc.
3) When starting my work on Derived1 etc. I want to use DialogBase as base class. Layout Designer should show the layout of DialogBase (with all the controls) and let me position the controls of DialogBase, i.e. initialize the base class members. I then want to add my new controls and save that as Dialog1 layout.

That is what I mean by "visual inheritance". Is this possible? If it is not possible then it would be a great thing to have, imho.
