Custom Control Initialization - first time drop on win form

[User 643528]

I am writing a small custom win form control (i.e. UserControl). I would like to pop up a wizard the first time the user places the control on a windows form. I cannot figure out how to tell the first time a control is places??? I cannot seem to find any methods or properties in the designer class. Can anyone help here? Thanks!

Implement a ControlDesigner for your class and attribute your UserControl with the DesignerAttribute specifying the Type or type string for the designer class. In your implementation of Initialize or OnSetComponentDefaults, you could pop up a wizard dialog or whatever you want.
