Interesting. I have never seen the code "RETURN DODEFAULT()" but it makes sense. My base class has RETURN .F. in its INIT (in case of cancel).

So now I am wondering, if I were to have the code as I put in my initial example (DODEFAULT() first, and then the custom code) and the code in the DODEFAULT() return .F., would the control still initialize?
