UI API issue, clicking base document on sales order does not set ActiveForm

Question

I have a sales order window open with a sales order loaded.  When I right click and click on base document, the sales quotation window shows up properly, however in code when I get the ActiveForm, it is the sales order form and not the sales quotation form!
Private Sub SBO_Application_FormDataEvent(ByRef BusinessObjectInfo As SAPbouiCOM.BusinessObjectInfo, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.FormDataEvent
    If BusinessObjectInfo.Type = bo_type.SALES_QUOTATION And BusinessObjectInfo.BeforeAction = False And    BusinessObjectInfo.EventType = BoEventTypes.et_FORM_DATA_LOAD
        SBO_Application.MessageBox(SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm.Type) 'shows 139 instead of 149?
    End If
End Sub
If quotation data is loaded using the next/prev/first/last buttons on the menu bar, the activeform .Type is 149.
If quotation data is laoded using the Base Document shortcut on the sales order, the activeform.Type is 139.
Is that suppose to be correct?  If so, how do I get the new sales quotation form that is created by using the base document shortcut?

The problem with form activated is that it is triggered everytime the window is "activated'.  Meaning that if a user clicks out of the form and clicks back in, the form activated event is triggered.
I need to perform an operation only on the first time the form and data is loaded and/or activated.
