I modified the framework with a PreDeleteHook (forms and cListObjEdit) to check for conditions that would preclude deleting a record. In my particular case if a user tries to delete certain records that have children, the predelete hook calls a BizObj requery to check, returns .F. if children are found, and displays a list of the children for the user in a modal form where OK is the only available response. Several custom properties where added as well.

I believe Kevin has incorporated the PreDeleteHook into the next framework release.

Another alternative is to check the conditions when the form refreshes and disable the delete button.

I like the idea of the BizRulesMethod but a question: Do all rules fire when checking for the delete condition?
