I don't know - maybe Kevin will jump in here.

>2. I found that the maintenance form used for BizObj is not "suitable" to my design. I would like to have maintenance form with cbizobjnolistmaintform's functionality but I don't like pageframe. What should I do? create a subclass of it, and "hide" the page? I used to plan to write my won maintenance form class by subclass cBizObjForm, but I found that are alot of things have to be done. any suggestion?

I would subclass the CBizObjForm and add an elements you want at that point. I've always found that when I try going the other route (eg. hiding elements) other issues come up that make me regret my decision. Just think of it this way - you'll only have to do this once (and a lot of the code can just be cut and pasted from the other forms).

>3. I would like to have XP style look to my application. I would like to subclass those controls from ccontrls.vcx and add xp style code to it, but it doesn't effect those enhanced control. Any way to do so without have to modify every enahnced controls, nor modify class in ccontrls?

I'm assuming you're not using VFP 8? If you are using VFP, themes are on by default, so they should automatically have the "XP" style look. If you're not, this is one area where the framework needs some work; a few of us have already asked for a few additional framework layers where we could add changes that would effect the composite forms w/o having to modify them directly. All of the workarounds are kind of a pain and a bit time consuming - eg. subclass the composite forms and CContrls classes, modify your CContrls subclass, then use something like VCXEdit (included in the framework) or HackCX from http://www.geeksandgurus.com to modify your subclassed version of CForms class to point all the controls on those forms to your new CContrls subclass. Or, modify CContrls and keep in mind that it'll get stomped on during the next upgrade of the framework.

Maybe other people will have a few more (better?) suggestions.
