is there an initialize event for inherited usercontrols?

I'm inheriting a TextBox control, and I want it to have a default value for the Text property... I cant find an initialize event
should I override the text property and set a default value for it then? :rolleyes:

The closest thing is the constructor just set the text property there or in the OnParentChange event.

Umm why did I not think of the new constructor?:p

thanks it worked, but what does the OnParentChanged event do? when is it fired

Controls have a parent property which links to the object they are seated on (i.e. a Form, Tab) and anytime this changes the event fires. Sometimes if you want the control to adjust to what its on this is a good event to use.
