>>>That's if you need to do it to the class being edited. If you need to change the parent class of any member object on it (say, a button on a form, or a grid on a page), then your best bet is to either hack the vcx or to write a builder.

For instance, *ALL* textboxes of type ClassA are redefined to ClassB, etc. It works by class ref, not by individual objects.

Another example: All command buttons of type BtnCustomWhatever are redefined to BtnSomethingNew.

I even use it to add a class type to objects that were based on the naitive base classes
