>I am trying to force a control to be Init-ialized LAST on a VCX based form. This way it can gather info about other controls on the form. is there any (elegant) way to do this?
Try using the Zorder property or 'Bring to Font' on the format menu. I know that Send to Back will ensure that the control is FIRST to instanciate since we need to do this with our dataenvironment objects at times
