Hi Katherine,
 
I'm afraid you can't reclass unless you have a pretty good idea as to what
it should be.
 
If you're a scripter, you can use the various scripting tools to take a look
at the control's name or class (which often gives you a hint as to what it's
being used for), or the MSAA info log using the WE Event app might tell you
something.
 
If you're not a scripter, then you are usually left to trial and error (and
a lot of the time, you have to set it back to "original" because whatever
you chose is worse than what it was doing).
 
Sorry it's not easier than that, but if it is, I'm afraid I don't know about
it.
 
Chip

Subject: how to know what to reclass controls as when encountered



Hello all,

                I was fooling around a few weeks ago with the WCF service
configuration editor (a tool in the Windows SDK that I will need in future
development endeavors), and I realized that some of the controls were custom
according to WE, so I made an attempt at reclassing them.  I reclassed them
as buttons not knowing what they were actually supposed to be, and whatever
I did, that seemed to make them all disjunct and unreadable.  WE could read
them, but it sounded like Gibberish rather than English.  What is the first
step when trying to reclass a control in figuring out what it should be?
Thanks guys.
