Hi Sergey:

Spot on, as usual. Thanks for this insight - I never thought about the button retaining focus. In a real-use scenario, when the caption is changed, focus would always jump to the text box that the "caption" button relates to. Whilst creating the class, it doesn't do that - yet!

Thanks again!

Best

>>I am trying to create a button class that appears as a label until you click it upon which it displays a list of values to choose as the button's caption. I have set the special effect to "Hot Tracking" and all is well if you hover over the button - the button displays as a button. When you are not hovering over the button, it looks like a label.
