Hi Thomas,

My original reply should have read...
>>That's the idea, except ResetToDefault() returns the original VFP default value, not necessary the value set in the property sheet at *designtime* (not runtime).

I understand your last example and agree that it works correctly. However, going back to your original example, let me explain the problem in more detail.

In my baseclass textbox, readonly=.F. (ie. the VFP default).
In an instance of this textbox on a particular form, I set readonly=.T. in the PEM sheet.
I run the form, suspend the program in the textbox.init() method, this.readonly=.T. (as I would expect), but after I run this.resettodefault(), this.readonly=.F., which is not as I set it at designtime.

Hope this is clearer.

Regards,
Alan
