Hi,
   Wow this groups is quiet...

Anyhoo, I'm trying to create a C# composite control and have inherited 
from UserControl. This new control contains 9 buttons with images on 
them ( no text ).

Firstly, what is the best way to expose these 9 buttons to the 
developers who will be using my control. I want them to be able to 
change visibility, enablement, onClick etc for each button, but not be 
able add any new buttons. I initially thought of exposing them as some 
kind of fixed array, but wanted the opinions of those with more 
experience. In the case of an array or collection, what is the correct 
way of exposing this so it can be customised via the object inspector.

Secondly, if I want a specific icon/bmp to appear in the ToolBox for my 
component, where must this icon/bmp be stored. I know I need to use 
ToolboxBitmap(typeof(MyComponent), "MyComponentBitmap") attribute, but 
can this exist in an image list or should it be placed somewhere else?

Thanks,


Dominique
