Yeah, I know .... this is one of the things I meant when I said there were cleaner ways. I was trying to highlight how each control *can* control it's own state.

Also, there's a methodology issue. As a general rule (broken often - hehe) I try to code my frameworks where each control or container sets it's own state depending on the environment. I try to avoid SetAlls and the like except where common-sense efficiencies make there use overwhelmingly beneficial.
