I am trying to create a canvas-based control CLASS that has other

children to the desktop or to the project window doesn't work.
I can create a sub-class of Canvas, but then I don't know how to
add other controls on top of it that become part of the class.
Adding controls to the canvas as properties doesn't seem to work; I
can't get them to display on the canvas.
Am I overlooking something, or is what I am trying to do not possible?
What you are probably looking for is a ContainerControl. (Pro only)

Terry,
I apologize, I should have mentioned in my post that I am running RB
5.5 Pro under MacOS X 10.3.9.
My controls window only has an "OLEContainer Control (Windows)". Is
the ContainerControl an addition to RB after version 5.5?
The reason I thought that this was possible was that, in the RB 5.5
Lang. Ref, the Canvas control has a Scroll method that takes an
optional ScrollControls parameter. The LR says, "ScrollControls
indicates whether controls positioned on top of the Canvas control
should be scrolled as well. ScrollControls is True by default." But,
perhaps this applies only to controls built on a canvas "by hand".
But, if it is possible to create a sub-class of Canvas with child
controls in RB 5.5 Pro, how do I do it?
Thanks,
David
