Kevin,

I just sent you a version that delegates hotTrack to a class that is stored in a program file. Without decompilation, the developer won't know what function does the hottrack. In the init() of each button:

this.newobject("oButtonTracker","buttonTracker","fp_controlBar.fxp","",this)

You would distrubute fp_controlBar.fxp, which does not have the source code in it. In case you didn't know, here is how to remove code from the VCX.

* do this on a copy of your VCX!
use fp_controlbar.vcx
replace methods with "" all
use

Does this get you closer to what you want?
