Ok, I see the benefits of this idea. Currently I have default VFP class for the each Container (because it doesn't do anything), but I can change it to be my class instead with this method added. Thanks for your help, Larry.

>>I have one very complicated form with pageframe with 8 pages. 6 first pages have Container1 on it. In each Page.Container1 I have bunch of different controls (criteria). I'd like to write a Form method SetDefaultState with would set each control (criterion) to its default state. Now my question is: what would be better from optimization point of view: use this construction:
>>

>>with this.PageFrame.Page1.Container1
>>    .control1.SetDefaultState()
>>    .control2.SetDefaultState()
>>    etc.
>>endwith
>>
>>with this.PageFrame.Page2.Container1
>>    .control1.SetDefaultState()
>>    .control2.SetDefaultState()
>>    etc.
>>endwith
>>  etc.

>>Or iterate through form's collection (not sure, how to do it)?
