Línea de base snaplines en controles Winforms personalizados

Como una actualización de la respuesta del Miral.. aquí están algunos de los" pasos que faltan", para alguien nuevo que está buscando cómo hacer esto. :) El código C # de arriba está casi listo para' drop-in', con la excepción de cambiar algunos de los valores para hacer referencia al UserControl que se modificará.

Posibles Referencias Necesarias:
Sistema.Diseño (@robyaw)

Usos necesarios:

using System.Windows.Forms.Design;
using System.Windows.Forms.Design.Behavior;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
using System.Collections;

En su UserControl necesita el siguiente atributo:

[Designer(typeof(MyCustomDesigner))]

Entonces necesitas un " diseñador" clase que tendrán las líneas de ajuste de sobrepaso:

private class MyCustomerDesigner : ControlDesigner {
  public override IList SnapLines {
    get {
     /* Code from above */
    IList snapLines = base.SnapLines;

    // *** This will need to be modified to match your user control
    MyControl control = Control as MyControl;
    if (control == null) { return snapLines; }

    // *** This will need to be modified to match the item in your user control
    // This is the control in your UC that you want SnapLines for the entire UC
    IDesigner designer = TypeDescriptor.CreateDesigner(
        control.textBoxValue, typeof(IDesigner));
    if (designer == null) { return snapLines; }

    // *** This will need to be modified to match the item in your user control
    designer.Initialize(control.textBoxValue);

    using (designer)
    {
        ControlDesigner boxDesigner = designer as ControlDesigner;
        if (boxDesigner == null) { return snapLines; }

        foreach (SnapLine line in boxDesigner.SnapLines)
        {
            if (line.SnapLineType == SnapLineType.Baseline)
            {
                // *** This will need to be modified to match the item in your user control
                snapLines.Add(new SnapLine(SnapLineType.Baseline,
                    line.Offset + control.textBoxValue.Top,
                    line.Filter, line.Priority));
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    return snapLines;
}

    }
  }
}

Gracias a todos aquellos por la ayuda. Fue difícil de tragar. La idea de tener una subclase privada en cada control de usuario no era muy agradable.

Se me ocurrió esta clase base para ayudar..

[Designer(typeof(UserControlSnapLineDesigner))]
public class UserControlBase : UserControl
{
    protected virtual Control SnapLineControl { get { return null; } }

    private class UserControlSnapLineDesigner : ControlDesigner
    {
        public override IList SnapLines
        {
            get
            {
                IList snapLines = base.SnapLines;

                Control targetControl = (this.Control as UserControlBase).SnapLineControl;

                if (targetControl == null)
                    return snapLines;

                using (ControlDesigner controlDesigner = TypeDescriptor.CreateDesigner(targetControl,
                    typeof(IDesigner)) as ControlDesigner)
                {
                    if (controlDesigner == null)
                        return snapLines;

                    controlDesigner.Initialize(targetControl);

                    foreach (SnapLine line in controlDesigner.SnapLines)
                    {
                        if (line.SnapLineType == SnapLineType.Baseline)
                        {
                            snapLines.Add(new SnapLine(SnapLineType.Baseline, line.Offset + targetControl.Top,
                                line.Filter, line.Priority));
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
                return snapLines;
            }
        }
    }
}

A continuación, derive su UserControl de esta base:

public partial class MyControl : UserControlBase
{
    protected override Control SnapLineControl
    {
        get
        {
            return txtTextBox;
        }
    }

    ...

}

Gracias de nuevo por publicar esto.

VB.Net Versión:
Nota: debe cambiar txtDescription al Cuadro de texto u otro nombre de control interno que utilice. y ctlUserControl a tu usercontrol nombre

<Designer(GetType(ctlUserControl.MyCustomDesigner))> _
Partial Public Class ctlUserControl
   '... 
   'Your Usercontrol class specific code
   '... 
    Class MyCustomDesigner
        Inherits ControlDesigner
        Public Overloads Overrides ReadOnly Property SnapLines() As IList
            Get
                ' Code from above 

                Dim lines As IList = MyBase.SnapLines

                ' *** This will need to be modified to match your user control
                Dim control__1 As ctlUserControl = TryCast(Me.Control, ctlUserControl)
                If control__1 Is Nothing Then Return lines

                ' *** This will need to be modified to match the item in your user control
                ' This is the control in your UC that you want SnapLines for the entire UC
                Dim designer As IDesigner = TypeDescriptor.CreateDesigner(control__1.txtDescription, GetType(IDesigner))
                If designer Is Nothing Then
                    Return lines
                End If

                ' *** This will need to be modified to match the item in your user control
                designer.Initialize(control__1.txtDescription)

                Using designer
                    Dim boxDesigner As ControlDesigner = TryCast(designer, ControlDesigner)
                    If boxDesigner Is Nothing Then
                        Return lines
                    End If

                    For Each line As SnapLine In boxDesigner.SnapLines
                        If line.SnapLineType = SnapLineType.Baseline Then
                            ' *** This will need to be modified to match the item in your user control
                            lines.Add(New SnapLine(SnapLineType.Baseline, line.Offset + control__1.txtDescription.Top, line.Filter, line.Priority))
                            Exit For
                        End If
                    Next
                End Using

                Return lines
            End Get
        End Property
    End Class

End Class

Estás en el camino correcto. Tendrá que anular la propiedad SnapLines en su designr y hacer algo como esto:

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property SnapLines() As System.Collections.IList
    Get
        Dim snapLinesList As ArrayList = TryCast(MyBase.SnapLines, ArrayList)

        Dim offset As Integer
        Dim ctrl As MyControl = TryCast(Me.Control, MyControl)
        If ctrl IsNot Nothing AndAlso ctrl.TextBox1 IsNot Nothing Then
            offset = ctrl.TextBox1.Bottom - 5
        End If

        snapLinesList.Add(New SnapLine(SnapLineType.Baseline, offset, SnapLinePriority.Medium))

        Return snapLinesList

    End Get
End Property

En este ejemplo el usercontrol contiene un cuadro de texto. El código agrega una nueva snapline que representa la línea de base para el cuadro de texto. Lo importante es calcular el desplazamiento correctamente.
