Hi!

I am writing a custom control. Is there a way for my control to refer
to the form (that hosted this control) handle programmatically?

What I wanted to do is to set form property when the control properties
changes. How could I refer to form during design time when the form is
unknown?

Is there something like :

ContainerForm.Height = 50 ?

Thanks

Bob

Check out the control's 'FindForm' method.

Thanks. Never thought that the solution is that simple. 8-)
