>>For those of you who are just not quite sure what the definition of "inifite loop" is, try the following "Visual" example:

It behaves that way (returns "Not found: after searching all methods in the form) for me as well under 5.0a build 415. Either it's version specific, or doing the following isn't a valid test:

Open an existing form (PROGRESS.SCX)
Add a new textbox txtTestBox
Add a comment to txtTestBox.Click()
Ctrl-F and look for 'xyzzy' forward in all objects - returns "Not found"
Close form
Reopen form
Open optPointInProcess.Show() method
Ctrl-G - returns "Not found"
