Hi Terry,

My apologies if I have not been effective in describing what I am
trying to accomplish. And I also apologize for my ignorance of what
REALbasic can and cannot do.
As I stated earlier, I am attempting to make a sub-class of
Rectangle Control (RC) that can be resized and relocated. This I
have achieved, thanks to some inital guidance from Charles Yeomans.
As this project has a window with three such ResizeRelocRect (RRR)
items in it, I thought it a good idea to have a StaticText (ST)
label in each of them so that if the end-user relocated these
objects in the window, they could readily tell which object was
which, without having to place the cursor over them, one at a time,
in order to see the helptag.
Sounds like a perfect place to use a Container control
This allows you to treat several controls as though they were one and
"bundle" them together
