The init event will not be run until you run the app. When run, you should see the colon (you may need to set autosize to .t.). The only way to accomplish this in the designer itself would be to create your own builder.

>I've mapped a field's label to a class and want its label to always appear with a colon. I've put the following code in the class's init method:
>
>this.caption=IIF(RIGHT(this.caption,1) $ "!?:#",this.caption,alltrim(this.caption)+":")
>
>However, when I drag and drop a field from the dataenvironment onto the form, no colon appears. If I use the VFP form wizard to accomplish this, the colon does appear. How can I get the colon to appear when I drag and drop?
