Well, this isn't easy but there are a couple of things you can try...

1. Put a MustInherit statement at the top of your class. However this is easily removed.

2. Add the following attribute to the top of your class.
<DesignTimeVisible(False)>

3. Override the 'OnHandleCreated' event but don't pass the event on to the base class. (Again easy to remove, if someone knows what they are doing.)

You can give them a try but they are easy to get around if anyone knows a bit about programming.
