how to access child control of a user control

[jainendra.shah]

hi frds,
I have created a user control with the Imagebox control, label and a checkedlistbox control.
then I want to access checkedlistbox control from my application form. But unable to find any properties or event who manage directly to checkedlistbox control.

Plz provide way how to access that control event on my form In C# .
Thanks in advance

Dear

I' m created for you a user control and I added for it properites like this :

public PictureBox PicBox
        {
            get
            {
                return picBox1;
            }
            set
            {
                picBox1 = value;
            }
        }


        public Label LblText
        {
            get
            {
                return lbl1;
            }
            set
            {
                lbl1 = value;
            }
        }


        public CheckedListBox checkBoxList
        {
            get
            {
                return clb1;
            }
            set
            {
                clb1 = value;
            }
        }

as you see I made properties for all controls and every properety get and set the label m checkedlistbox, or Picturebox direct..

after rebuild the solution you will see the user control in toolbox, drag and drop it,
and you will find all the defined controls in user control properites w(PicBox, LblText, and checkBoxList).
so you can edit them from designer or from the code .

Sample code:

// UserCntrl.Designer.cs
//====================
namespace winUserCntrlToutrial
{
    partial class UserCntrl
    {
        /// <summary> 
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary> 
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
