I would like my users to be able to control some formats globally that are not covered by the SET commands. Can I change, for example, the property of txt.backcolor to 255,255,0 (yellow) - where “txt” is my baseclass which is derived from FoxPro’d TextBox control, so that ALL textboxes in ALL my forms in this application would have a yellow background starting from when the user makes this change.

This is just an example of what I'm trying to do that's easy to describe. I know that in this case, the Windows colors could have been used.

All I can think of is keeping the preference value in a table, allowing the user to change the table, and having my class take it’s value from the table and I’m not really sure that this approach would work smoothly.
