>Maybe I'm missing something here, but if I could put code in the KeyPress, then I would not need to check any other properties. My problem (and I may not be looking at this the right way) is that OptionGroup's do NOT have a KeyPress method. I already have lots of subclassed OptionGroup's that I would have to modify by adding code to the KeyPress method of each option (in each OptionGroup). I'm racking my brain trying to figure out a better way.

Hi Isaac,

1. In your OptionGroup class, add a method called CommonOptionKeyPress. Place the code you want to execute in that method.

2. For each option button, in its KeyPress event, enter the line of code THIS.Parent.CommonOptionKeyPress().

Yes, this requires you to modify each option, but ONLY ONCE. You should never have to modify them again.

HTH,
