From VFP 7 help 'Visual FoxPro IDE Enhancements':
"The form/class designer allows you to more easily drilldown into container classes such as pageframes. By holding down the CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT keys, you can now click directly on a control within a container to select it."

>I've been using VFP for a few months now and it is beginning to grow on me. However I have two complaints about the programming environment and I'm wondering if there isn't something i'm missing

>1. Say i have a form with a pageframe on it. i want to make a small change on page 3 of the pageframe. So I open the form up and currently do the following.
>a. open up properties window
>b. select page 1 of the pageframe
>c. select page 3 of the pageframe

>do i really need to do these three steps to access page 3??

>2. similar thing with grids. i want to make a change to a control that is in the fourth field of a grid. why can't i just click on the control and go into its properties? currently i have to open a properties window and then maybe click on the header of the column and then change from that to control within that column.
