Sergey,
I am planning on subclassing the Init(), so bindevent() offers the flexibility I was looking for. Your sample works as I would have expected my form class to work. The only difference is, I used the form designer. Unless I'm just not spotting a difference the code snippet you wrote looked the same as the one I posted. Would doing the same thing via the form designer work for you, or did you see a problem with what I did?
