WAIT WINDOW "Form Container ObjToClient = " + STR(ObjToClient(ThisForm.FormContainer,1))+chr(13)+;
> "Form Container Textbox ObjToClient = " + STR(ObjToClient(ThisForm.FormContainer.Text1,1))+chr(13)+;

OK, now I see what you mean. If you don't modify the textbox position in the subclass instance, OBJTOCLIENT doesn't seem to report the correct value. If you change it, it works. Very strange.
