Just keep in mind Nancy, that anything were to ever change on a global level in the application and you've overwritten the properties, that's many more places you have to go to change things in your app.

The best approach, of course, is to create a generalized parent class. That's to say, a class that has common properties, events, and methods, set to particular values.

One example of how to do this would be to create a subclass of the VFP label base class and not to change anything. Then, create a new subclass based off the subclass you just created and set up its properties, events, and methods.

Keep in mind that you want a universal look & feel throughout your application so your users can become comfortable that things will generally appear a certain way.
