UserControl Design Mode

[Guest]

I have a UserControl that contains a label and a textbox (just as an
example). Is there any way during design mode via the VS.Net Designer, to
allow the developer using the designer access to that label or textbox of the
user control? Ie. click on the user control but directly where the label is
and have focus come on the label of that user control and not the user
control itself?

My goal is to allow a developer to resize the label or textbox of a user
control with their mouse and not having to go through the properties grid
(ie. by make the textbox and label public). Is this even possible?

Thanks,

-Rick

Yes, but it takes a little work. Check out

Thanks Ed,
Looks like that is the way to go and i'm going to make my form which the
UITypeEditor will invoke into a Customs Form Designer per the article found
at:

Thanks for your help
