More precisely, doesn't need to pass anything back. Since the objects are always passed by reference, the passed object will be actually a reference to the original object, so anything the form does to this reference happens to the original.

I find this approach tremendously easy, because in case you need any additional parameters, simply add more properties to the object. I think this sort of usage was one of the main reasons Empty class was invented for VFP8.
