>>>Can someone tell how (or if its possible) to add a timer to a command button group ? Their does'nt seem to be a way to do it visually. I thought of doing an addobject() in the init of the group but then how do I define the timer event ?

From this I assumed that even though the command button group was called a container object it could only contain command buttons (as the name implies). Can the timer be added to the command button group using the class designer instead of the form designer ?

No, you'll get an invalid object for this container message.

You can programmatically define the timer as I indicated. However, in order to add it to the command group in the class designer, you'll have to add a object property reference to hold it. You can't use .AddObject().

hth,
