How to get items collection to show up

I have a Web User Control I am writing.

At design time I want to have a Collection of OTHER Web User Controls that shows up in the Properties window.

How do I do this?

Let's switch gears for a minute and assume I am working with a custom control .. not an .ascx.

How could I get the Collection to show-up in the Properties window with an elipse button and all the bells and whistles.

I want to mimic the functionality you see for an Items (Collection) in regular asp controls such as a DropDownList, ListBox, or RadioButtonList -- where you see Items  (Collection) in the Properties window and you click on the button and it brings up a Window where you can add or remove items.


Are there any good books or websites that walk you through how to do this?
did you try what I menioted above .. it does give the ellipse and list all the controls in the page .. i was not able to get it to filter out specific types ..
