Hi, guys, got an interesting one here. I'm trying to adjust something everytime a different form is activated without having to put code in the form class. (Trying to do an observer kind of thing.) I figured I'd bind to changes to _SCREEN.ActiveForm, but it doesn't seem to work. Here's my test code:

ON KEY LABEL f12 clear events

o=CREATEOBJECT("TestBind")
BINDEVENT(_vfp,"ActiveForm",o,"HandleEvent")

o1=CREATEOBJECT("form")
o1.Name = "FirstForm"
o1.Caption = "First"
o1.Show()

o2=CREATEOBJECT("Form")
o2.Name = "SecondForm"
o2.Caption = "Second"
o2.show()

READ EVENTS

RETURN
 
DEFINE CLASS TestBind AS Custom

PROCEDURE HandleEvent

DEBUGOUT PROGRAM()

ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE

Any suggestions? For that matter, I'll really want to do this when using a top-level form as my background, so ideas about what I can bind to there would be helpful.
