>The reason is that I want to change my buttons for an image control class dinamically. In order to do that, I made button invisible, and copy button visible properties (width, height, top, left) to image control. You can see two problems in this approach: 1)When user clicks on the image control it must performs command click method, and 2)When another control reffers to command properties such as Enabled, Visible or so, changes must be applied to image, instead.

The solution that came to my mind was to assign Command.Name to Image control and change Command.Name. It works partially. I mean, if command is simply on a form or into a container on a form, it really works. But, if command in on a container IN A CLASS, and that class in on a form, doesn't work. So, second problem is still arise.

Methinks you can still save the name of the image control in a property. For example, in some property (for an example, I will use a form property, .oImageControl), save the value: "ThisForm.CntMyClass.Image1", if that is where the image will be accessed.

Now, to access this object:

local loImage
loImage = eval(ThisForm.oImageControl)
loImage.Picture = ...
loImage.Visible = .T.
