Sorry, guess my example wasn't too hot.

Here's what I am talking about


You have a control 'myControl' or something which contains a label 'myLabel'. The control has a custom property named 'cCaption'. What I want is to change value of 'cCaption' and have it change the text displayed in the label (ala. myControl.myLabel.Caption=cCaption).

The trick is I want this behavior in the Form Editor; I know how to do it while the form is running (Refresh() and Init() events). But the methods don't fire inside the Form Editor (thank god). But I want to make my own custom widgets and I want them to respond to property changes the way the VFP controls do.

THanks,

Tom

P.S. Man if the knicks don't win this game... I don't know, I'm gonna lose it

>>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.
