Hi Glenn,

Working with UserControls is VERY different then what you are used to with VFP. If you need to set properties of controls contained in the UserControl, you create properties at the UserControl level that in turn make the changes to the contained controls.

>I have designed a UserControl which consists of two checkboxes. The checkboxes are configured as Toggle Buttons. I need to be able to set the TEXT of one of the buttons at Winform desgin time. I do not have ANY idea how to do this! I can set the TAG value of the control, but there are no events associated with the TAG, even if there were I would not know how to access the CheckBox.Text value.
