I readed the VFP Help file on TRY CATCH, and it states that the ERROR event will catch the objects error before the CATCH statement. In otherwords, if there is a Error event, it will process the error first. I also saw no means to raise the error to the CATCH statement from the Error event. But, if there is no Error event defined in the object, the CATCH statement does process the error.


From the Error event help
Any errors that occur in an object's Error event must be handled by the object and are not escalated to an ON ERROR routine or TRY...CATCH...FINALLY handler.

>>>Hi everybody,

>>>I'm creating a custom class called BusinessProcess. In this class I'm going to have RunProcess method. If some error conditions occur, I want to be able to stop the process immediatelly.

>>>I have cError property. If I set this property to something, it means, I have an error and want to stop. My question is: is it advisable to create a custom Release method (call Destroy() in it) and call this method in cError_Assign?
