I do have access to the base class-- the library is a sub-project within my project. I just simply want the option to be able to prevent a single side effect that happens in their setter method, so I was hoping I could just subclass as make my own custom setter. So I can call both theirs and mine when appropriate. There's no way to do this without duplicating tons of their code? Patrick J. Collins http://collinatorstudios.com
