So, apparently, I have to add the property or method to each of my root base classes. Add the new property to my textbox baseclass, add the new property to my checkbox baseclass, add the new property to my label base class, blah, blah, blah. Maintaining them in this manner seems to be a little short of a full OO architecture.

You can't do it in .NET either - although extension methods can be useful......
