Public summary
GroupBox and ContainerControl should provide built-in methods to find child controls by name without requiring callers to track child indices. The lookup should work through nested child-host controls so users can retrieve controls moved into a GroupBox or ContainerControl in the visual designer. Add a Control.Tag property and a tag-based lookup as a companion identification option.
