I didn't understand very well your quqestion but I guess u shoud add an event to your customized component as a textbox nested in a componen u can not use directly its properties methods and events. I give this solution may be the problem will be solved
assume that I have created a new component in witch I added a textBox called textBox1

using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace myTextBox
{
    public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
    {
        public UserControl1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private string Text
        {
            get { return textBox1.Text; }
            set { textBox1.Text = value; }
        }
        /*I can fire the TextBox1 event from a method that I define as 
         * public to be visible when I use the component later in the main project*/
        private void FireTheKeyPressEvent()
        {
            // This line fire the event from this method
            textBox1.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(textBox1_KeyPress);
        }


        private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
           // TO DO: implement the event handler method
        }


    }
}

If u try the previous code The FireTheKeyPressEvent() will not appear in the method list when u instantiate a new compoment object now try to put public void FireTheKeyPressEvent() rather thant private void FireTheKeyPressEvent() u will see the method in the methods list of the object
I we summarize The KeyPress Event related to the textbox in the component will not appear within the component properties and method list except the u define it in the as a component class member and I insist that u define it as public
