lol. Seriously though, I recently copied & then hacked VFP's native _thermometer class to change it from a form to a container so it could be placed on another form. It worked out quite well. I haven't used/tested it much yet, but I haven't encountered any functionalities that would be form specific & thusly breaking as a container. Vcx, scx, frx hacking is fun!
