I can confirm this by following your steps (also in OS X 10.4.7). Furthermore, dragging an instance of Class1 onto the window results in an object with a single selection handle in the window, such that at first I didn't think the drag into the window had worked. So I ended with several instances of the container control, which I was able to figuring out after running the project. A lot of careful clicking and dragging allowed me to resize a single-selection-handle instance out to the correct size on screen (which still disappears when you click off of it).

To parphrase Yoda: "Do ***WITH Rb2006R3*** NOT figure!" ;) What's easier than this? In a new project : 1) Create a container control (ContainerControl1)... in my case it had two bevelButtons on it -one as button the other as menu) 2) Create a new Class (Class1). Assign it's super to ContainerControl1. 3) Go to the default window (window1) in layout mode 4) Select project Controls and try to drag Class1 onto the window to create an instance. What you get is a tiny little selection outline (as small as possible I think) and if you click elsewhere it disappears in the IDE 5) Try Double Clicking Class1 entry to add it to the window. You get a selection outline the size of the window instead of the size of the super container control. You can can resize teh selection enclosing the invisible control ... but click elsewhere and it disappears as it is not visible But if you run the project the subclassed container control appears in the app as it should. If you can't see it in the layout editor it makes using subclassed container controls in a UI VERY difficult. RB06R3 Mac OSX 10.4.7 Dual 2.3 mHz PPC G5 2.5GB RAM
