For classes like this, I always create a virtual function named "Copy", the operator= then calls it's open "Copy" function. If the base class has a Copy function, the derived class usually calls it, otherwise it usually calls the base class's operator= function (yes, there are times, albeit rare, I do the copy entirely in the derived class.) (I almost always have a function equivilents to operators, though these functions may incorporate several operators, like "Compare".)

Hi there, I respond to "del" keys in my listviews by handling the KEYDOWN notifications, this solution should also work for listboxes: In your message map add: (you should use LBN_*) ON_NOTIFY(LVN_KEYDOWN, IDC_LIST_FILES, OnKeydownListFiles) Add the handler: void CUpdateDlg::OnKeydownListFiles(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) { LV_KEYDOWN* pLVKeyDow = (LV_KEYDOWN*)pNMHDR; if (pLVKeyDow->wVKey == 46) { // Delete key pressed } *pResult = 0; } Hope this helps !

i think the only way to do this is to make the tab control within the propertysheet owner draw. check out Ownerdraw Tab Controls - Borders and All and if you've got any further queries i'd be happy to help.
