Greg...that's what i was afraid of...yeh..good idea..will create my own toolbox with derived controls....mmm...now i have to do a search and replace on my current project :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Friday, 29 April 2011 5:40 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: Is it possible to override a class? Anthony, it sounds like you do actually want to derive a new class. A control is just a class. In large WinForm apps I usually create FooLabel, FooButton, FooPanel, etc classes and use them in place of the usual base classes. My FooLabel could detect a settings change for example and they would all change colour or font. Your derived FooButton would optionally beep when clicked. The only nuisance is keeping all the Foo controls in the toolbox and remembering to use them consistently. Greg This email is intended for the named recipient only.
