You could write a program that will open each code file, recuse though it and modify them. This is a good example of why you should never use a stock control. So while you have to modify all your code, you might as well convert to using all custom controls. I have one large CC which contains a subclassed version of every stock control. I only use that CC along with every contained control in all my projects. That way if I am forced to make a global change I can do it right there is a single CC and the change will cascade to every form. it might actually be easier to write a program and change each stock control to a custom control than to insert a new parameter. For example if I create a CC for my pushbutton, and name it TIPUSHBUTTON CLASS TIPushbutton(FormObj) OF Pushbutton(FormObj) custom     with (this)         systemTheme = false     endwith endclass Then in each form I just have to search for "new PUSHBUTTON(this)" this.EXPORT = new PUSHBUTTON(this) and replace it with "new TIPUSHBUTTON(this)" this.EXPORT = new TIPUSHBUTTON(this) Then add the set proc to my CC to the constrictor of each form. Your CC or custom control file could actually contain numerous classes, each one for different controls. I believe the dUFLP contains example of a CC with multiple controls and even has a global replace routines. Might take you a while to get done but certainly not a year and you'll be setup to make global changes in the future. Hope this helps, Rich... "Michael"  wrote in message news:qvk36q4FUHA.1352@ip-AC1E04A7... I wam upgrading all my legacy Visual Dbase 7.5 to Dbase 11 and maybe even Windows 12. The biggest issue I have is that the default setting for all controls is the Windows Theme is set to TRUE and all my buttons are greyed out. This may not sound like much but I have over 400,000 lines of code with hundreds of forms and buttons and will take me a year to convert them all to FALSE so my software can retail the custom colours and Labels set throughout the software. How can I turn windows theme off or set DBASE controls to have Windows Theme turns off? Anyone? Regards, Michael.
