Hi Dragan -
You answered one of my question which is you CAN add properties and methods to objects contained in a form at design time while your in the form designer. Although the changes are not saved the next time you open the form in the form designer, you can first save the contained object to a class and drop it back on the form, probably not ideal for most situations, but I think this would be useful in certain situations - as long as you save the objects you've added members to before exiting the form designer. Thanks for this insight.

I've tried this before, and the extra methods in the contained objects were just gone. Probably when the class (or form) is compiled.
