TWWebBrowser is my subclassed WebBrowser in a spirit of Foxpro guidelines.
I've just tried to add a label, and a property for label to my usercontrol
public Label LLabel
{
get { return label1; }
set { label1 = value; }
}
but it didn't make any difference , I can't see LLabel in drop down menu of properties on a form where I put a parent usercontrol with that label.
Folks at
http://www.vfpconversion.com/Article.aspx?quickid=050084seem to confirm my statement for public children ( they don't mention children wrapped as properties though ). Article related to VS2003 , I am in VS 2008 from Friday , but the same behaviour.
It would be interesting to see the simple example how it works at solution level if you could expose it somehow , as usercontrol is very important building block , and it would be very handy to see elements of that in properties.
>Strange. The Property *should* show up in your Property Sheet. I have plenty of controls sub-classed from UserControl, so I know it works. The only thing I can think of is that it might have something to do with the type of property being something called TWWebBrowser (I don't know what that is). Maybe a reference needs to be added? I don't know ... just guessing.

>>>No, there is no such limitation with UserControls ... but to be able to edit them via the Property Sheet, you would need real properties (with get/set), rather than simply protected or public modifiers.
