Joâo,
Make the called form modal :
do form serach_listbox to myRetVal && It could return a value in unload event

But better you do that from lostfocus not valid :

*Lostfocus approach
if empty(this.value)
   * ....
   nodefault && If control should stay here - IOW valid return .f. 
else
  *...
endif
