Jim, I understand that controls are "just code" in .net and thus you can inherit them just like anything else, adding whatever you wish to them. What I was specifically referring to are all of the "Changed" events listed for (for example) the text control. Go into the Editor, select a control in the left hand combo and drop down the right hand combo. Notice all the XXXXXChanged events where XXXXX look like the names of properties and stuff. It looks like all (or many) of the properties that you could change programmatically fire an event when they are changed, which is pretty cool actually. One of my frustrations with Access (VBA) is that you never know when a property changes (not enough events). John W.

It is in a WROX book called Beginning VB.Net 2003, in Chapter 10-13; 'Building objects' and up to 'Creating your own Custom controls'.

Does anyone know if every dynamically modifiable property raises an event when the property changes at run time? John W.
