Hi, yes, I tried that. I put /REGISTER_PROPERTIES as a keyword into
every object in my model that would allow the code to compile
(something, maybe IDLgrText but I'm not sure, wouldn't accept it). It
didn't solve the problem though I should try it again when I'm feeling
a little more patient.
I'll have a look at the IDLitComponent subclassing.
Will post a follow-up if I have any success.
Thanks,
Sean
