Michael,

Try this:

Create a new project
Add a class and make it's super Editfield
Edit the new class, in the Open event, add the following code:

  dim x,y as integer

  x = self.left
  y = self.top

  break

Add an instance of this class to Window1 and position it at 0,0

Run the app. When it breaks, you'll find that x and y are both zero  
because in this case, self refers to the class which is why I'm trying  
to use TrueWindow.
