Chrsitian,

yes your class code is surpressed, but the default behavior of teh VFP baseclass is not surpressed.

For example, you write code in the keypress event of a textbox, if you had any code in a higher class's keypress that code would be surpressed. However, the processing of the keystroke by VFP is NOT surpressed by your code. That is the character will be added to the value of the textbox and the display will show it to the user. NODEFAULT does surpress the default base class behavior and in a keypress NODEFAULT will disard the keystroke.

NODEFAULT cna also be used to control when the base class default behavior occurs. By default it occurs after your code runs, however you could code akeypress event like this to force the default behavior first;

* Textbox KeyPress
DoDefault() * runs superclass AND baseclass behavior

* Some code you wrote

NODEFAULT
* surpresses automatic running of the base class default behavior
