Hi,

I have a form class hierarchy in which the grandparent class has a datamanager object in it which has added code in one of the methods.

When editing the corresponding grandchild method I try to "view parent code", but it only shows the code that the button would inherit if it was standing alone, not the code added to the object within the compound grandparent class.

When the form runs, it correctly executes the code added in the grandparent class, but the IDE does not show the actual code hierarchy of the class.

The behavior seems to be lightly mentioned in the documentation:

If code inherited from the immediate parent class exists, and the parent
class is a member of a container class, Visual FoxPro displays the container
class followed by a separator and then the classes in the parent tree. Other
classes that traverse the container hierarchy might contain code but are not
displayed in the list.

I think VFP should be more precise about the showing the true class hierarchy code, because as it now works is misleading.

Has this behavior been improved in VFP9?
