David,

>I actually use my object in a few other objects - labels, buttons, textbox, optiongroups, etc., and it's really cool, because I can put all sorts of neat logic into it very generically. For example, if the button gets too small, I can resize the font.

To me it just doesn't make sense to resize these kinds of items on a form. But that's purely my preference. I don't know of any mainstream application that has that sort of behavior.

>You could still do this all with the resize method, but the great thing about putting it into a single object is if I decide to change the behavior, I only need to do it once, rather than in each class.

You still don't have to hold object references for the long term. The resize object could just iterate the thisform.Objects[] collection.
