Suppose you create a custom canvas:

That canvas has a Getter/Setter pair to retrieve/store a string in a property. Assume the canvas control is called myCanvas.

Sub SetText( theText as string)
    MyText = theText
End Sub

and

Sub GetText() as string
   return MyText
End Sub


You call the methods externally as such

myCanvas.SetText("some text")

  and

someText = myCanvas.GetText()



Now lets say you make the daring decision to put the canvas control inside a Containercontrol, but you still need to be able to set/get the string stored in the canvas externally to the Container.

Is it most appropriate to create a Getter/Setter pair of methods for the Container Control that passes on the values on to the myCanvas control?

i.e.
Container control methods:

Sub SetText( theText as string )
   myCanvas.SetText(theText)
End Sub

Sub GetText() as string
    return myCanvas.GetText()
End Sub


Or is there a better way to do this?
