Sorry, I'll explain again. I created a user control with 4 buttons. Each button has some logic in it. I placed the control on a form. From the form I can override the click events of each of the buttons. I want to know if there is a way to not call the click event on the user control when one of the buttons is clicked?

>OK, we gotta get the terminology straight ... I'm not sure if you're talking about a sub-class of your user control (which would be a child) or if you're talking about the instance of your user control on your form (which would not be a child). Same goes for the parent terminology.
