If you want to put classes in a VCX, I don't know a way to prevent it, but you can set things up so that the Class Designer closes immediately.

KEYBOARD "{CTRL+F4}Y"
CREATE CLASS new_checkbox OF new_base as my_checkbox FROM my_base 

Note that I removed the NOWAIT. You need a wait state for the keyboard characters to take effect.
