Hi Marcel,
thanx for your reply.

> SetAll use the class and not the name of the object. ( I suppose you know it )

Yes I do :-), i meant the classname.

> You are able to send the message to all objects and trap with objPropRead_assign to setup a handle or not condition

I am using the assign-method already but I have to admit, that live is hard, when not reading the helpfile correctly. I did not notice the square brackets at parameter three ('ThisForm.SetAll("objPropRead", 2, "Container")). After removing "Container" everything is working fine.

However, it would be fine if there was a parameter four for defining a baseclass, the 'setall'-internal loop would be quicker then.
