I don't think it would solve the original problem. Besides, I can not modify the framework, though I agree, it sounds better to have that code in form's release...

>>Hi everybody,

>>In MereMortals framework we can close form by pressing ESC. I noticed, that if I type something in the textbox control, then click on Close button at the upper right corner, I'm asked a question: "Do you want to save your changes?". If I type something and press ESC, the question is not asked and form simply closes and that I typed is lost.

>>*-----------------------------------------------------------
>>LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
>>IF this.lReleaseOnESC AND nKeyCode = KEY_ESCAPE
>>  nodefault
>>  IF this.QueryUnload()
>>  	IF This.WindowType = WIN_MODAL
>>    	This.Hide()
>>    ELSE
>>    	This.Release()
>>    ENDIF
>>  ENDIF
>>ENDIF

>>I added nodefault, but it didn't help. In QueryUnload there is a method called WriteBuffer. This method checks type('_screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl') and then executes valid of this control, if it's an object. However, in case of ESC the above test doesn't evaluate to O.

>>The solution could be having form's property oLastActiveControl and binding object's GotFocus method and changing that property, but it's a little bit cumbersome. Do you see a simpler way to fix this annoying problem?

>>Thanks a lot in advance.
