Thanks for your reply Mike.

Your answer is what I expected.

You mentioned that "A control (class) inside of a container (class) is an instance of a class, not a class definition."

Is this a FoxPro thing? Or is this pretty much the standard for object oriented environments? I mean, I feel like the developers of FoxPro could have programmed it where a control class inside of a container class would be part of the class definition and therefore able to have properties and methods (such as access and assign methods) added to it. But, I don't know. I may be wrong and Object Oriented professionals around the world may be LOL at my above statement. But to me it seems conceivable. Does anyone know if FoxPro has any plans to add this ability? Or are they LOL?
