Using VFP8, I have a class-based form which I launch using the following code.

loForm = CREATEOBJECT('MyFormClass')

IF VARTYPE(loForm)='O'
   WITH loForm
      * Set some properties here
   
      .Show()         && displays form 
   ENDWITH
ENDIF

The form contains a method which should close the form using thisform.release. The release method fires but the form does not close, and the trace window still shows the .Show() line as the currently executing line. Is there something wrong with my code?

I was thinking that the form is not releasing because the object reference loForm is still in scope, but if I close the window via the close X, thisform.QueryUnload() fires, followed by .Destroy(), the form closes fine and execution proceeds to the ENDWITH command and onwards.

How can I get past the .Show() line when I close the form using thisform.release? I have put 'this.destroy' in the form release method and although it works, it is a kludge which I am not happy with.

Any help would be appreciated.
