Text property and the Toolbox

[steve bull]

I have created a label control and got it to appear in the toolbox. The problem I have is that while all the other
properties appear for the contro I can't get the Text property to appear at all. I have tried in both the DataBindings
category and the Appearance category but it won't appear in either. Am I missing something or do I have to do something
extra for the Text property?

I have included the part of the code which seems relevant. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks, Steve

public class ThreeDLabel : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

private string m_Text = "Initial String";
private Font m_Font = new Font("Arial", 20, FontStyle.Bold);

[Category("DataBindings")]
[Description("Control text")]
//Override the base Text Property
public override string Text
{
get
{
return m_Text;
}
set
{
m_Text = value;
this.Refresh();
}
}
[Category("Appearance")]
[Description("Sets the Font for the Text property")]

public Font TextFont
{
get
{
return m_Font;
}
set
{
m_Font = value;
this.Refresh();
}
}

etc.
