Sometimes I got similar problem. The easiest and OO-way to go around is to replace PRG file with custom method of the same form. Another way is to return property value back to form using known Fox techniques. But if you have time try to call:
_VFP.my_form.my_property or _SCREEN.my_form.my_property.
