In VFP 6.0 SP5 (or SP3?) the following code worked:

MODI FORM (myform) NOWAIT

FOR ln = 1 TO _screen.FormCount
IF _screen.Forms(ln).Name = "form1"
lo = _screen.Forms(ln)
EXIT
ENDIF
ENDFOR
lo.Caption = "I can change the form's caption in developer mode!"

I could run this code from within an APP, EXE or PRG and use it to modify the form in design mode. But in VFP 7.0 the form being modified is not shown in the _screen.Forms collection.

Was this an undocumented feature that was taken out of VFP 7.0? Will it be in VFP 8.0? I was able to create several form builders using this technique and they have saved me hours.

What happened to one of my favorite features of VFP?
