Bob,

If you drop your custom object onto your form, you'll make it impossible to easily use a new subclass of your object. This is because your form contains a specific instance of one subclass.

One way of dealing with this is to delay adding the class until runtime. Your form can have two properties, one for the classlib and one for the classname then at runtime:

set classlib to (this.cCustomClasslibName) additive
this.AddObject( "oCustom", this.cCustomClassName )
