My class is based on a container class and in the click event of a shape that is over the textbox I have the following

This.Parent.cLocation = This.Name

with cLocation being a property of the container. So all I am doing is putting the name of the shape in the property of cLocation, is that correct?

Whould I still have to do as you suggest?

Thanks
