Hi Charlie,
AFAIK you can not add properties and methods to the base classes (except form), only to subclasses. Am I wrong???
>It is always better to create a subclass when your extending the functionality of a component, but if you don't feel comfortable with subclassing you can use the base classes. You'll just have to add the highlighting code to each instance.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
