_Similar i used so i could use the "Change into" function to quickly change
a button to a flashbutton in the IDE

It was almost perfect except for how it looked in the IDE.
_DrawWith sorted it out a treat :)

i have just recently discovered the power of using Inherit on controls in a
class and getting into customizing them.
Loving it, so far all i have is a flashy colour button and a GridView that
has built in Sort and MoveRowUp and MoverowDown functions but feeling a new
area of an awesomely handy library of custom controls ready for import into
my projects in the making..
:)
Wishing well
