UserControl TextBox Properties

All,

I have a custom control that has a textbox on it. I want to be able to set
properties of the textbox in the IDE. I have exposed the textbox with a
property and it now shows up in my properties window in the IDE. I can set
attributes (i.e. character casing, etc.) but it will not 'save' those
settings by writing it back to the source code. What am I doing wrong here?
Public MyControl
Inherits UserControl

.... system generated control which adds a textbox and label to this control

Public ReadOnly Property TextBox As TextBox
'This property will expose the textbox to the properties window in the
IDE allowing me
'to change attributes of the textbox control, but they do not save.
This is my problem.
Return Me.TextBox1
End Property

End Class

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dave
you need to make sure that you Rebuild your control , and the readd (
refrech) its reference in your test project so you can see the effect of
the changes take place. hope it is as simple as that :)

Hi all, I am trying to make a UserControl with a TextBox in it. I have to publish the TextChanged event of the inner TextBox, but I have some trouble. If I declare : public event EventHandler TextChanged; I get a compiler error saying that TextChanged is already declared and I have to use : public new event EventHandler TextChanged;

I have a Web Form with some tailored logos and artwork.

Hello I want to create a set of controls that have some common methods and properties. I was thinking that I should subclass the UserControl class and add these common features there and then base all my custom controls on this new MyUserControl Class. Is this the way to go? The MyUserControl would not actually have any UI component and should be abstract I think. Does this mena that I should not create the control by just selecting...

I've created a custom UserControlwithin which I have placed a Panel. I've changed the Panel's "Modifier" property to Public so that it appears in the Properties Window of the UserControl. This way, I could modify the properties of the panel within the UserControl when I place a UserControl on a Form. Or so I thought. I can set the properties of the Panel within the UserControl via the Properties Window, but none of the changes made to...

I have created a UserControl that encapsulates a third party data grid. My goal was to create my own DataSource and DataMember properties that forward the binding to the third party grid, then use binding like normal.
