One of the things that the wiz-style does is that it enables or disables most of your buttons based on the edit mode. You can look into the class if your interested. But I would refrain from using it and develop your own buttons.

The .SetAllProp method of the txtbtns class sets the .Enabled property for all textboxes and the .ReadOnly property for all editboxes based on your "editmode". It uses .ReadOnly instead of .Enabled for editboxes so that you can scroll them without editing the data. If you attempt to type in the editbox when not in editmode, the class gives you a "read only" message. It also plays around with .Disabledforecolor and .Disabledbackcolor so that textboxes and editboxes will look similar. The .SetAllProp method is called from the txtbtns.Refresh and in some button.clicks, overriding values set in design mode or .Init. It also ignores classes of controls not created by the wizard, such as combos and spinners. If you want to keep your version of txtbtns, you can easily modify it to handle them. Code for handling controls in a particular form that are not to be enabled or disabled according to "edit mode" can be put in the refresh of the form or the form's instance of txtbtns. You may also eventually want to edit it to handle controls inside pageframes, which are not true containers and which it ignores.

If you haven't already invested too much in your button bar, compare txtbtns with the nav button classes in tastrade, then consider using a system more like the one in tastrade, which comes closer to what people here have recommended to me. Tastrade won't take long to figure out, compared to the big frameworks people have been discussing in several other threads recently.
