I just retested my code. Works fine.

I emailed you the project.

>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>I'm trying to create a custom control based on the VFP control class. At design time I dropped a label in the control along with a shape. I created a custom property for the control named Caption that has an assign method to change the label's caption. In the control's init event, I set Caption=Caption to force the assign to update the label's caption.
>>>
>>>This works fine at runtime. How can I update the label's caption at design time? When I drop a instance of this class on a form, the label and shape objects are not available (since it is a Control control).
