Remarks
Applies To: Form Object | ToolBar Object
BeforeDock occurs before Visual FoxPro redraws the form or toolbar so you can change the appearance of the form or toolbar. For example, suppose you want to replace a ComboBox control on the form with a CommandButton control, which has different proportions. You can insert code into the BeforeDock event that replaces the control when docking the form.
Returning .F. (False) from code in the event or adding the NODEFAULT command does not prevent docking. For more information, see NODEFAULT Command.
