Ooops. Rock I forgot to add thisform, this.parent.parent and this depending on where lHangingValidation property belongs. With "lHangingValidation" is a property of grid :

* Custom grid property lHangingValidation
* A valid.event of textbox
if ....
  this.parent.parent.lHangingValidation = .t.
else
  this.parent.parent.lHangingValidation = .f.
endif
return !this.parent.parent.lHangingValidation

* Grid.valid
if ....
   return .f.
else
   return !this.lHangingValidation
endif
