Not to drag this out or anything, but what do you mean you only see the Top value? The Left property isn't changing when you move the container? Or are you only moving just the Top?

>I just noticed that if I create a container directly in the form, then add a text box to the container, that works as expected. Also (maybe I'm just halucinating here), if I use the class mentioned above and move a textbox, so that it doesn't have the default value for TOP, that seems to work too!

What exactly do you have in your form Init? I have a form that has container, and in the container there's a TextBox, a Grid and a CommandButton. If I put this code in the form Init, I see the values change when I move the container and re-run the form.

wait window "text1="+transform(objtoclient(thisform.container1.text1,1))+" "+;
                     transform(objtoclient(thisform.container1.text1,2))+chr(13)+;
            "grid1="+transform(objtoclient(thisform.container1.grid1,1))+" "+;
                     transform(objtoclient(thisform.container1.grid1,2))+chr(13)+;
            "Command1="+transform(objtoclient(thisform.container1.command1,1))+" "+;
                        transform(objtoclient(thisform.container1.command1,2))

It's only really late Thursday here. ;)
