You cannot inherit UserControl as you are already inheriting Form.  See comp/source/gb.form ColorChooser (and FColorChooser) for a good example of how to use a form to design a custom control.

Your control can use a form as you intend to "design" the control, but the actual exported control must either inherit from UserControl or UserContainer (or some other control) in order to work properly.
