Eric,

Just a couple of questions:

1. Is the only way to create a composite class stored in a VCX file through the CREATE CLASS command?

2. Using the CREATE CLASS command, I will need to close the window programmatically. I have tried an ACTIVATE WINDOW "Class Designer" and a KEYBOARD "{Ctrl-W}" with no success. How can I close the designer window?

Thanks

Rex
