I needed to add functionality to the existing form which was already built using a particular class (that class had some default Search behavior built in based on KeyPress event). I found incorrect behavior of the form so I originally just added nodefault. I later found that input controls stopped working, so I just added one line into KeyPress and it worked (e.g. the parent's behavior was not executing but the default KeyPress worked).

Thanks.
