Hi Alan:

I am not at my Dev machine but I think your sample code has just "switched the light on" <bg>. I think I have specified the subclass name in my call and not its instance name. Your code shows your subclass "TestText" but you have referred to "TestText1" in Setall(), with "1" being the operative character!

I am sure this is the problem. When I get to my machine, I will check this out. I really appreciate you having taken the time to investigate this for me. Thanks!

>What I did was to create a textbox subclass (TestText) of fox's textbox class, give it a property called lReadOnly, and add it 3 times to a container subclass (TestContainer). I put the container subclass on a form with it's 3 text boxes. Finally, I added a button to the form, and in the button's click, I put the following code:
>
>

ThisForm.TestContainer1.SetAll("lReadOnly", .T., "TestText1")
>ThisForm.TestContainer1.Refresh()

>
>In the textbox subclass refresh, I have:
>
>

This.Value = IIF(This.lReadOnly, 'True', 'False')

>
>When I click the button, the textboxes all change to 'True'
