How can I create a control that don't have UI, same like (Timer, ContextMenuStrip, BackgroundWorker)?

What kind of application?

Normally you use the code behind (right click on UI -> view code).
You can also use the Property box of that particular control to build it.

When you add some controls like Timer, BackgroundWorker, it don't show interface (the user can't see it, it can only be used by code) unlike Button, TextBox, etc..., I want to create a control that don't have user interface, it can only be used by the code.

Thanks,

@Idle_Mind,
The main idea of the component is to manage multiple controls in the parent form

There will be a property called "Controls", this property will contain a list of the parent form controls names, the developer will be able to check multiple controls names in the list.

OR

Property that allow the developer to add controls names, so the component will know which controls to perform actions on.
The answer is incomplete.

However, thanks,
