Nope. I think most of us hack the VCX to change this. There are a bunch of tools available to do this (some free, some not).

I looked at hacking the VCX, but the internal controls are inherited, so not in the subclassed VCX, and I wasn't sure how to go about adding them.

Here's a link for a new one that's pretty cool:

Ah, now that looks helpful. And I already use the free version of the ViewEditor. I'm going to see if we can buy the bundled set.

No framework, unfortunately. Silly me thought it would be faster to make my own than to learn an existing one. :)

Again, not really, especially if you want to have them at the container level. It is possible to set the control sources of the contained controls when you drop the container on a form, but you have to drill into the container to do it. If you want the at the container level, you're left with creating pseudo control sources like you've been doing.

Darn. Ok, I guess I'll just keep what I have, then.

Thanks,
