Ok, here's my most recent problem:

Every FFC is sub-classed from the _base.vcx classes.
Every _base class has it's Error() method ignore all errors during runtime.

So my global error handler NEVER gets called from any FFC class. And even worse VFP's default error handler isn't even called. I have to put code into EVERY instance of any object that uses the _base classes to directly call the error handler. I can't just sub-class the FFC classes and put an error handler into the sub-class.Error(), because the FFC seems to make extensive use of NewObject() and AddObject() which would still be using the _base classes.

The only way I can find around it that makes sense is to delete the code from _base.Error(), but's that's against MS's recommendations.


I'm not sure that this would work but, the only other way around it that I can find would be to :
1 sub-class the _base class
2 modify the sub-class to skip over it's parent.Error() to the grandparent.Error()(in case I've redefined the _base classes like MS recommends).
3 redefine every FFC class to use _base_subclass instead of _base.
4 spend hours looking through all the methods in the FFC class looking for places where NewObject() or addobject() is used (because they would be using the _base classes).
5 Rewrite the FFC sub-class methods found in #4 to use my _base_subclass instead of _base, and also skip over their parent.method() to the grandparent.method() (because we don't want to change the FFC either).

But I would never know if I missed any thing, because the _base classes just ignore errors during RunTime.
