>>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.
