There's no way to have a file selector, color picker, listbox or whatever clickable in the PEM window for the custom properties. None that I know; I had to tell him to be satisfied with the comment available, it will at least give some hunch to anyone who uses the class as to what the property should represent. Still, I'd like to be able to declare the type of the property (numeric, integer, integer in the range 0-10, color integer, filename, picture filename, icon filename...).

Sure, but then there'd be another thing - to redefine the rightclick in the form designer to open my PEM sheet instead of the standard one for my classes... needs some surgery, and would sure need to cut deep into VFP, if ever we knew where to start. Or project hooks really allow for all this? I'll have to study it thoroughly.
