Harry,
"Baseclass" is always VFP's. You can only change class. With a commandgroup you would only able to change existing (or added via buttoncount) buttons' properties add/edit methods-events. It's not a container type that you could add other controls (subclassed commandbuttons). If you want to make it instead of a commandgroup use a container and add buttons to it (see txtbtns in wizstyle.vcx). But with a commandgroup you could use setall for properties and use commandgroup events-methods for global methods-events (ie: no click code to buttons but edit commandgroup's click instead).
