We added this functionality to our aBusinessForm class (subclass of mmBusinessForm)

public enum EditMode
{
	Editing,
	Adding
}

...

public class aBusinessForm : mmBusinessForm
{
	protected EditMode _mode = EditMode.Editing
...

Maybe if everyone asks for it, Kevin will succumb and add it to the framework.
