>The idea is that I have a control, for simplicity say it's just a label. The control has a property 'cCaption' that's the caption for the label. What I want is to be able to set the cCaption property in the Form Designer/Properties window and have that value be reflected in the design window at design time.

Hi Tom:

If I did understand you properly, right click on the control and select Properties. Then look for Caption and in the data entry field, enter the name of control. You will immediately see the change on the control which is on your form.

Hope it helps.
