The solution is very simple really. You can for example write the following:
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
ImageButton someImageButton=new ImageButton();
someImageButton.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(ImageButton_Click);
this.Controls.Add(someImageButton);
}

protected void ImageButton_Click(object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
do something..;
}

within your custom control. You only want to bubble events when you want to
expose your event in the containing page.

Hi,

you could access the child control in button's click event? Or if it's
something internal in the child control, it should be informed somehow that
the Click occurred, maybe it could wire up to an event of the parent control
which the parent exposes publicly?
