Since in my case the base class is created visually, I can't figure out (without hacking the vcx file) how to set a property of a base class to the value in the oApp class. Here is more details:
>>>>My textbox base class (in my application) has a property .BACK_COLOR_FOCUS (current has a value hard-coded). This property would have to be set to the value oApp.BACK_COLOR_FOCUS (Access method of the oApp class). But I cannot set it in the visual class. In a PRG class that would work.

>If you create an access method, there must be a matching property. IOW create the property TEXT_BACK_COLOR_FOCUS and check the box Access Method before you press Add. Now you will see this access method listed in the editor. And whenever your code checks for the value of this property, its _access method will fire.

Now I need to figure out how to create a PROPERTY in the PRG class and check the box Access method.
But I see now that I was missing a couple of points. Thank you.
