Ok, here's what I did for this before I started writing builders. Actually, this is a way of lightweight builder.

Edit both classes at the same time. Use aselobj() to get references to each, say oOld and oNew. Then have two routines:

procedure CopyProperty(o1, o2, cProperty)
o2.addproperty(cProperty, eval("o1."+cproperty))

procedure copyMethod(o1, o2, cMethod)
o2.writemethod(cMethod, o1.readmethod(cmethod), .t.)

Now just

copyproperty(oOld, oNew, "backcolor")
copyproperty(oOld, oNew, "forecolor")
copyproperty(oOld, oNew, "disabledbackcolor")
...etc etc, any properties you may want to copy. Similarly for code:

copymethod(oOld, oNew, "YourCustomMethod")
copymethod(oOld, oNew, "click")

You may also want a copy member method - if you have December FoxTalk2.0, you can take it from my article there, it's part of the sample code - you only need to write about four lines of code, to extract classlib and class from the member to copy, and then oNew.newobject() it.
