Yes, there is a SCOPE operator you can use in your situation, e.g.:.

MyGrandParentClass::GotFocus()

Another alternative, if you can change the parent class, is to set some property to execute the drop down opening, e.g. Set OpenOnGotFocus property to .t. in the parent class and set it to false in the subclass. This way you can easily achieve your desired behavior by altering a property.
