I have code like this in each of the 6 buttons

* button.init
messagebox("button 1 fires")

Obviously this is for testing only, but it shows me that only the first 2 buttons reach the init code. My ultimate purpose is to set the enabled property based on the users authorization but that's less visible than the messagebox. (not really but not as dramatic)
Also,

* baseclass.button.init
thisform.resizeobject(this)
if authlevel < this.authorization
	this.enabled = .F.
endif
dodefault()

* baseclass.buttongroup.init
thisform.resizeobject(this)
for each loButton in this.Buttons
thisform.resizeobject(loButton)
next
if authlevel < this.authorization
this.enabled = .F.
endif
dodefault()

Nothing really exotic.
