I've the following hierarchy of form classes:

cBizObjForm (cForms.vcx)
...|
...+->iBizObjForm (iForms.vcx)
.........|
.........+->SBTBizObjForm (SBTForms.vcx)
...............|
...............+->aUserMaintForm (aForms.vcx)

Each of these clases have a user defined method called BeforeNew() whose function is serve as a pre-hook to the creation of a new record in the data environment. I've specified the BeforeNew() method in SBTBizObjForm as:

LOCAL llResult
llResult = DODEFAULT()
IF llResult
...THIS.SetEditState(clTRUE)
ENDIF
RETURN llResult

The problem stands on the fact that I can't get the BeforeNew() method to be executed. I traced the program execution with the debugger but when it arrives to cBizObjForm::New() it ignores the call to THIS.BeforNew() as if it were empty.

The portion of code I'm talking about follows:

* Method: cBizObjForm::New()
IF !This.BeforeNew()
...RETURN FILE_CANCEL
ENDIF

LOCAL lnRetVal
This.LockScreen = .T.
lnRetVal = FILE_OK
...
RETURN lnRetVal


Any clue of what I'm overlooking? Please?

Thank you for your patience

Gustavo.
