Two ForeColors?

Question

I need to create a custom control for an app. This would be similar to a Button but with two possible forecolors for the text. I feel reasonably sure that this involves overriding the standard forecolor property but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Can you start me in the right direction? I'll have to work out the details for myself but I need to know if I'm even going in the right direction.

What you want to do with two forecolors ? Wondering...How GUI behaviour drives with two forecolors?

Actually I think I was mistaken. What I really need is two separate text fields (TextA & TextB?). I can set up a custom button with two separate text properties but I need to locate the text somehow. I'm not sure how MS does it so I can't recreate the events. Also I'm not sure how to get rid of (or hide) the original text property. I have tried the following (for the last item) but it does not seem to work: _ Public Overrides Property Text() As String Get Return MyBase.Text End Get Set(value As String) MyBase.Text = value End Set End Property
