>>Is there a reason that the checkbox control doesn't have a readonly property? Is there a way to simulate one in my checkbox class? .Enabled would work for most of my implentations, but it would be nice to be able to issue a SETALL readonly to .T. and have the checkboxes included.

You could also take a cue from the .SetAllProp method of the txtbtns class in WIZSTYLE.VCX (source of much of my inspiration) and say:
THIS.disabledforecolor = THIS.forecolor
THIS.disabledbackcolor = THIS.backcolor
or something like that, so that your checkboxes will look like your other controls with a built-in readonly property.
