I have a control whose text property I don't want automatically set on
creation in the forms designer (i.e. "MyUserControl1"), I want this left
blank unless the user specifically puts in a value. Is this possible? I
thought about using a custom serializer, but the only thing I could come up
with would always keep the text property blank.

TIA,
Bob

Hallo Bob,

look at IComponentChangeServices.ComponentAdded event. You can hook
it in the .Site setter and then your component gets informed that it
is created. Clear the .Text (or set to a different value) in
the event handler (and you can unhook here, since you need
the event no more).

HTH,
Dima.

Hi Bob,

Would you mind posting the relevant portion of your code that achieves this?
I am trying to do a similar thing but am having no luck.

Thanks,
Kent
