Not necessarily because DoDefault allows you to provide additional
functionality to your subclasses (controls).

True if you have a lot of dodefault calls at the control level. In your
specific case, you may want to break your Valid into something like this:

luRetVal =
If Not Empty(luRetVal) Then
luRetVal = This.CustomValid()
EndIf

and use the CustomValid as a repository for the code at the control level.
