when working with classforms I think I found a strange behavior I can duplicate every single time.

I use subclassed version of the label control from the _base class. and here is the trouble.

if I change the label caption using the properties sheet, to something like this. caption=cust.add1 or caption=(add1) if in code, I change the propertity of the caption, to the same thing, because I have changed the record pointer, I want to refresh the label)

VFP does not know what the caption propertity is. and makes the value a ""


however, if I set the property only in code. and let the default value 'label1' stay in place./ then everthing works fine...

I have tried this over and over again and the same strange thing happens. The reason for this post is I am curious if I am just missing something basic. or has someone else noticed this. ?

thanks
