>ok - i have created the extra classes - and have set the font to the one that i want to use - FixedSys. its working great - except for one small annoying thingy. the field that gets created automatically is ALWAYS 3 pixels too small - is there a method i can write code in that will increase the field width X+3 each time i add a field to the form ?
Ken,
To increase the field automatically at design time, I guess you could write some sort of builder, but I can't really help you in that area.
Another option is to add code into the init() method of your new class:
this.width = this.width + 3
