Create a CEdit variable, then hand-edit the type to CMyEdit. ALWAYS remember "it just
just program text" and if the tools don't give you the capability you need, there is a
text editor!

Personally, I think it is remarkably stupid that the class derivation tools are so poor in
VS. Did you try just typing "CMyEdit" for the variable type? The later versions of VS
allow this!

But there is always a text editor! And it's just text!

Thanks everyone.
That was easy now that I know what I'm doing.
