Target Controls inside a UserControl

Simple question..
How would you edit properties of a control inside a User Control?

Example:

Code:

userControl1.TextBox1.Text = "Blaaaah"

I've tried using something like this

Code:

Public Property TargetProcessBox() As String        Get
            Return Me.txtTarget.Text
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            Me.txtTarget.Text = value
        End Set
    End Property

but apparently it isn't working =/

I don't see why the property doesn't work. Maybe the control isn't redrawing itself? Try calling Refresh on the txtTarget after you set the Text property.

WHY ITS NOT WORKING IT IS RIGHT

Using another form, no controls show up showing that the code would be used.. like

"UserControl1." and no controls shows up

I just wanna change the property of a textbox from another user control form. VB is failing me

Have you even added the UserControl to your form? Doesn't sound like you have. Just adding it to the project doesn't mean that it can magically be accessed by other forms.

TRY TO CHANGE THE NAMES

I think I got it
Just use
[Form Name].[Control Name].[Property] = [Value]

@Aly El-Haddad He did use [Form]. Me = [Current Form]

I think Jason is right. If no* properties are coming up after the dot..sounds like you haven't actually added the control to your form yet.
Did you drag the control from the toolbox onto your form?
or create it in code w/ Dim myCustomControl As UserControl1 = New UserControl1() and be sure to give it an x,y location.
