.NET Forum / Windows Forms / Design Time / December 2005Getting the name of a control
Hello, I'm writing a component (inherited from Control) which is a graphic line optionaly attached to a caption text (Caption property). I would like to assign to the Caption property the name of the control, but, when I have to do this? In the constructor the control does'nt has name yet. I've tried to do it handling the HandleCreated event, but then I've found that even if the user changes the Caption property, always it's set to its name. Any help? Thanks, Mario Vazquez Ciao Mario, you could override the Name property of your control, and in the set group of statement, you could change the Caption. Have fun.

My question is: who gives the name to your control? And when? And how? I mean, why can't you set the Caption property just after the Name property has been set?

But only the first time you drag the control on the form. If later you change either the Name or Text property, this will not be do it again. That's it just what i want. But, the same question you made me I make meso: who gives the name to the Control? If I could hook that point it will be enough! Thanks for interest!
