User control Guidelines- Suggestion Needed

[mxnmx]

I wish to write a user control- have never written one before, I know the basics and all but just needed a suggestion...I'm going to make a label control....and here's my question


How do I make the label editable at run-time so that user can edit the data that is being displayed in the label.

Thanks

well how are you making the control?? are you going to use a standard label in your user control?? or are you going to make the user controls form surface the label?

Standard Label

well you basically have to manually expose all its properties...

for example.. you would make a property in your user control called caption.. and when that property is set it should set the actual labels caption... thats how user controls work that have controls in them.. you need to expose the properties and methods of the controls
