Try this

IF PEMSTATUS(this.Parent,"lFlag",5)
   BINDEVENT(this.Parent,"lFlag",this,"dosomething")
ENDIF

This way dosomething() will run each time the lFlag (or your edit flag) changes.

This works but I would like to accomplish this through a single property .T./.F. flag on the form as a base function of my container class and not have to add code to each one of my forms.
