So how exactly do you subclass and just set a property, without writing any method code, just clicking around the PEM window?

I know you can do everything in code - stool, you can even write forms in prgs (I know a guy who does and he's doing great, his forms are tight and his exe shrank by 50%, gaining some speed too), but... which part of Visual evades understanding here?
