User Control with Panels

Jacques Vd Westhuizen

Hi there,
I am a C# Newbie and need to create an application with a user control. The user control must consists of three panels, each with a different colour. I must use Properties, get and set, to return the colour of the panel.

My problem is that I have no idea how to reference the panels' colour in the properties. To create a single panel with a single colour is fine, but doing it with three is a problem for me.

Help will be appreciated.

Jacques,

Its the same for three as for one.

private Color _Panel1Color;
public Color Panel1Color
{
   get { return _Panel1Color; }
   set
   {
   _Panel1Color = value;
       Panel1.Color = _Panel1Color;   //Set the panels actual color here!
    }
}

Repeat this for the other 2 panels.

Hope this helps,
Mike
