I'll be damned. You can do this. Frankly, I didn't believe it. IAC, since you want to move the button, move it. IOW, delete the one on the form and leave the one on your form class. If they're in the same place, then you may need to move the button to an obvious spot in your form class so you can tell the difference.

Don't leave both, but to answer your question, it will probably reference the base class's button, since it would be first to instantiate. But don't leave both.

You didn't ask, but instead of adding the button to your base form class, it would probably be *better* design to subclass the form and put the button on that. But then, of course, you need to change the parent class of your .SCX.
