How to prevent user from dragging a control added to a user control container at design time

We want to create a usercontrol as container for maintain button status and arrange button location called ucSwitchButtonList.

This usercontrol added only one FlowLayoutControl.

After compiling, you can add ucSwitchButtonList on the form and successfully add buttons from CollectionEditor. ucSwitchButtonList on the form

We can modify button objects added in SwitchButtonList and set properties at design time.

But, when we drag any button at design time, the Visual Studio throw an NullReferenceException exception.

How to prevent user from dragging buttons in SwitchButtonList at design time? Or how to handle drag event at design time?

Thanks in advanced!
