// This example component class demonstrates the associated IRootDesigner which 
// implements the IToolboxUser interface. When designer view is invoked, Visual 
// Studio .NET attempts to display a design mode view for the class at the top 
// of a code file. This can sometimes fail when the class is one of multiple types 
// in a code file, and has a DesignerAttribute associating it with an IRootDesigner. 
// Placing a derived class at the top of the code file solves this problem. A 
// derived class is not typically needed for this reason, except that placing the 
// RootDesignedComponent class in another file is not a simple solution for a code 
// example that is packaged in one segment of code.
public ref class RootViewSampleComponent: public RootDesignedComponent{};

// Windows Forms view technology view for its associated component using an internal 
// Control type.

// IToolboxUser designer to be queried to check for whether to enable or disable all 
// ToolboxItems which create any components whose type name begins with "System.Windows.Forms".
