You are thinking correctly. The Control class will hide all contained objects from direct access. This is a Pro with the properties list and could be a Con at runtime when you want to modify something inside and do not have access to it through the control property.
Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Tristan Leask Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 6:08 AM Subject: Control & Container Objects Hi All, I have created an object (use a container class to place all my gubbins in) that mimics a list control but also gives a dynamic functionality to it. One thing I have noticed though is that all of the controls that make up the object are visible in the property tree when used on a form. Now I would like to stop this, and think by using a control object instead of a container object should do this. Am I correct? If I just modify the class (edit the table file) and change the baseclass of the container to control, will this work? What are the main differences between the container class and the control class?
