Redirecting controls added to a composite control

Hi,

I want to create a UserControl that is made up of three other controls:
- a image in the top left corner
- a label right to the image
- a panel underneath the two other controls

When controls are added to my UserControl after it is created (in designer/runtime), they should not be added to the control itself, but to the panel in the control.

Any ideas how to do that?

Best regards,
Michael

Hello

If my IQ works the best! You mean:

1. A user Control (MyUserControl)
2. Image(MyImage), Label(MyLabel) and Panel(MyPanel) in MyUserControl
3. after creating an instance of the user control, then MyImage and MyLabel must add to MyPanel.

Ok, It's not too hard:

Do it In the Constructor of the MyUserContorl.
For example:

C#

public MyUserControl()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    MyPanel.Controls.Add(MyLabel);
    MyPanel.Controls.Add(MyImage);
}

Thanks for your reply. But no, that is not what I want.

What I want to do is when the control is placed on a form, I want to be able to add controls to MyUserControl's MyPanel. And not to the control MyUserControl itself.

MyImage and MyLabel are just the header of the control. The panel (MyPanel) is a placeholder for other controls.

Best regards,
Michael
