Hi,

Sounds as if you need to expose the contained objects as public properties of their container at all levels.

I then have a ControlPanel Class which is another usercontrol with a splitter and then the Treeview within it. The ControlPanel usercontrol is then placed onto the MainWindow form. I have succesfully managed to get everything resizing correctly but now need to start adding some real functionality. What I want is to be able to know which Node has been selected from the treeview from the MainWindow form so that I know what action I need to take next.
