Hi,

       I want to use base forms in my desktop application to get a
consistent look and feel throughout the application.  I have created a
base form with a DataGridView on it, and then created a child form
from that base form.

       When I attempt to look at the properties of the gridview in the
child form, it displays a padlock icon and all of the properties are
not accessible.

       How can I change the gridview properties in my child form?

You can not in design mode. You can change the properties via code during run
time.
