It's very easy.

My User Control's properties can be modified throug a WinForm launched
by a verb, using Control Designer ...

I put my User Control in a WinForm (frmApp), I edit properties of my UC
from a WinForm(frmProps), and I would like to add TextBoxes to frmApp
from frmProps...

It's aka adding TextBoxes to a WinForm from the Images Collection Editor
Form of an ImageList...

Do you understand now ?

Partly. Maybe this will help:

Have you tried to look at the TabControl? When you add TabPages from its
TabPages Collection property, the TabPage instance are available on the
design surface for you to interact with. It is instantiated on the form
level and added to the Controls Collection of the TabControl instance. If
this is what you want, you can look at designer classes particularly the
method IDesignerHost.CreateComponent(). You can search for a number of
examples on this newsgroup, this article might help:
