I want to design a component then show lookup data.
you know a dblist control can be useful only for small amount of data . I need to use big look data .

first I open a active x user control project.
and then place ADO control and ole dblist control.

when my program is run I want to show a button to my user then user press this button show a lookup list.
after that user chose data and this data will return an item which I chose design time.

the problems I faced.

1 . I can't replace this item on my form as I want.
because when I replace my component on a form , all of component is showing
but I want only a references button to show. Then I press button to show data.

2. I couldn't set property of my list.
when I write
component_name.
the properties doesn't show.


What do you recomended. is it correct way to design this kind of component to show lookup data.
