Thanks, Fabio. I agree, that it may be viewed as a bug. In my case it's not easy to play with SetFldState because it would require change in a framework class. For one form in question I applied another simple solution, but in general we may want to make this change. I'll try to raise this question at our developers meeting, but I think we're too far in our development now to allow any changes in framework classes, so I expect the negative response.
