Nadya,

Thanks... I've been practicing. I've actually created a class library and done some subclassing. Though I do have a few questions:

I have prefixed my class names and class library name with acs (for Advance Computer Services). Is it OK to, say, create my base class grid with a name like acsgrdbase. Then, if I want to subclass off of it, I would create acsgrdsubclass1, acsgrdsubclass2, & so on. That way, my base classes and subclasses will all be in the same library file, acsBase.vcx. Is that proper? Or, are you strictly supposed to have your base classes in one file and subclasses in another file(s)?

Once you have a class in a class library, is there any way to delete the class? I've been playing around with creating different classes and class names, and, as I get honed in on this process, I need to clean some of the garbage.

I have created a TextBox class, acstxtbase, that I wish to have in my grid. How do I get it in there?

TIA,
Chuck

I still need to customize some properties on the txtBoxes, namely, SelectedBackColor and SelectedForeColor. I can see how it would be better not have to set these properties individually for each txtBox. I guess the main question I have is, how do I go about creating a txtBox class and how do put an instance of that in my existing grid?
