Inherit from Panel, add a property that represents the text you need to write, and override the OnPaintMethod():
public class MyPanel : Panel
{
public string TextToRender
{
get;
set;
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
e.Graphics.DrawString(this.TextToRender, new Font("Tahoma", 5), Brushes.White, new PointF(1, 1));
}
}
This way, each Panel will know what it needs to render, and will know how to paint itself.
