SOLVED - IDE will not switch between form controls

Question

Today, my Visual Studio will not switch between form controls in design mode. When I click around on the controls, the property window doesn't update with the properties of the currently selected control.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

How localized is the problem?  Is it just the one form?  Just the one project?  Only your machine?  

If you create another form, does it have the same problem?

If you create a new project, does it have the same problem?

If you open the solution on another machine, does it have the same problem?

Answer 2

I figured out what the problem was. It was a custom control I created. I deleted it off of the design form and the IDE started working properly again. I have since rewritten the control so that it works better in the IDE.
