Another way would be to save as a class clients modifications (you can programmatically save as a class)...

>Hello. I have a generic dialog that I would like to be able to pass a more customized Container object into for any custom controls the client code requires(a certain area of the form is dedicated for this). The container object is created by the client code, as it may want to customize the properties at run-time based on the current context. Is there any way to add an instantiated object to the form when I run it? AddObject() and NewObject() both create objects from a class, so they won't work...
