>Hi all,
>I found a strange gotcha in VFP's native BindEvent. It seems that if you bind an event handler to a property (in order to have the hanlder fire when the property changes), it will fire twice if you switch from storing an object reference in the property to a character value. The first time it fires, the value changes to NULL and the second time it changes to the value that you assigned.

You get double event to compensate for the fact that an event handler binded to Destroy event of a form does not fire if the event code of the form is empty. If you put at least a comment line, it fires.

This way, the math adds up right: 2 events fired + 0 events fired = 2 bindevents. Pure logic.
