Using new control that inherits from Form

I have created a new control that inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form.

I just added a few new properties that I want on all my forms..nothing
fancy.

I saved this project...let's call it MyForm.

How do I actually create new instances of MyForm in my application? I
know that if I were to create new custom controls based on other
controls, such as as textbox, I can just reference them and add them to
my toolbox. However, because I'm trying to replace a
System.Windows.Form.Form with MyForm, it's not really applicable to
have it in the toolbox. I created a reference to MyForm in my project,
but I'm still not certain how to actually use it.

In other words, when I right-click in Solution Explorer and go to Add,
I want to be able to select MyForm instead of Windows Form...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
