Sorry, I didn't add myself to the To: of the previous message.  I am
answering this way because the previous thread was too long to go through
any more.

It absolutely is possible to quickly and easily use a class in a form's CBF.

1) Dim the class variable in the header.
2) In the form's OnOpen instantiate the class and sign to the variable you
just created.  Pass in a pointer to whatever control you want to manage to
that class instance.  In that class, sink whatever events you want to
respond to.

What this does is remove the event sinking from the CBF of the form and
places said event sinking into the class.  Inside of that class (which I
call a "wrapper" class for the gawd awful music they make ;) do whatever
you wanted that control to do.  Turn on and off the toolbar or whatever ...

Copy and paste the code you just created in this CBF into every other
form's CBF.

I haven't been following this thread closely.  I am just responding really
to the comment "classes are for controls, not forms.  NOT the case.  They
are for both.

Got it. I doubt highly that you can do what you are aiming to do because a
form has to be instantiated before its object properties and events are
“live”.
