VB.Net, Getting the text property to appear in a custom button

Getting the text property to appear in a custom button

Will Ga #1 / 4	Getting the text property to appear in a custom button Hello, I'm trying to create a custom flat button control, kind of like what is used on the VS.NET toolbar. Everything is working well so far, except that I can't get the stupid thing to expose the Text property for the control. I declared the property as an override of the UserControl's text property, so it should work, shouldn't it? Is there something I'm missing here? I did declare the property to be public and it isn't any different than any other property declaration in the class, except that it is an override. I also tried shadowing the base class method. What was interesting was that I could get the property to appear if I changed its name to "Caption". Any ideas? Thanks, Will Gant

Richard T. Edward #2 / 4	Getting the text property to appear in a custom button Here's the code that creates a button and puts it ont the form Dim button As New System.Windows.Forms.Button() With button .Text = "Hello World" .Left = 20 .Top = 20 .Width = 120 .Height = 44 .Visible = True End With Me.Controls.Add(button) I already know what you're going to say, so, make an array out of the button and: Button1(0).Caption = "Hello World" HTH Quote: > Hello, > I'm trying to create a custom flat button control, kind of like what > is used on the VS.NET toolbar.

Jason Sobell - iGadge #3 / 4	Getting the text property to appear in a custom button Confusing, eh? Use <Browsable(True)> Public Overrides Property Text() As String The underlying class appears to have the browsable set to false on that property.

Will Ga #4 / 4	Getting the text property to appear in a custom button I'm actually inheriting from the UserControl class. The button is totally custom, I'm not even inheriting from ButtonBase.
