I have added an image to a form class.

In instances of the form class I try to set the Visible property of the Image to .f. to prevent it from appearing on the form when it is not needed.

It still appears. I tried setting the Left & Top properties to -1000. They stay where they are.

In other words I cannot change the properties of an object of a parent form class.

Am I missing somthing? Of course I can add an object when it is needed, however I would prefer to hide it when it is not since I can then locate it easily in the form designer in each instance of the form class.

Thank you in advance.
