Use the paint event of the User Control itself. If there is anything that needs to be communicated to that control from the client form, you can do in the client form's Paint Event or you could simply create an instance of the client form <u>within</u> the user control with events. Actually, that last suggestion would be the most direct answer to your question. If you'd like a piece of sample code, let me know. I've done exactly that with one of my user controls. Good Luck! |
