Expose childcontrols

[ake_krakbar]

Hello folks! Is there any way of exposing all child controls in a composite control in the Visual Studio Designer? If my composite control consists of a label and a textbox, I would provide the ability for the page user to select either one of these child controls and set its properties. I have looked through the net 2 Designer classes but found nothing useful.... best regards /Jonas

public Label MyLabel { get{ return lbl; } } 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

Hello Ista! Thanks for your reply. This exposes the hyperlink so that all its properties are accessible from the Property Browser. I would like to make it selectable in the Visual studio designer, even though its nested within the composite control. regards /Jonas

[Browseable(true)] public Label MyLabel { get{ return lbl; } } 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

Hello Istra! I would like to make the child control selectable in the Visual studio designer, even though its nested within the composite control. Setting the browsable attribute doesn´t do that...

Actually that attribute makes that property visible not the control 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

You could make the control public and you might be able to get at it But, thats a bad design idea. Then they could delete the control and other things and you would have errors all over the place. 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!
