Sometimes though the BaseClass behavior can undo work you've done in method code in this case you can NODEFAULT, explicitly call it with BaseClass::Method() and then the rest of your method code.

David,

I have a question for you concerning BaseClass::Method() calls: Why can't I get this to work in a form's KeyPress event? If I want to override the value trapped in a TextBox by the form's KeyPress (.KeyPreview=.t.) using NODEFAULT and Form::KeyPress(ASC('X'),0) it doesn't work. I get no character showing at all in the textbox. If I put the similar code (TextBox:KeyPress(ASC('X'),0)) in the MyTextBox.KeyPress event, it works. It also does not work with the DODEFAULT(ASC('X'),0) syntax, either.
