Vlad,
Thanks. Do you know if VFP7 addresses some of these grid issues?

>Above way you will have functionality encapsulated in the text box control. You can even define code on the fly for a form KeyPress event, if you want, but this is another story, it requires class definition by using DEFINE CLASS statements structure.

>>SET ESCAPE doesn't make any difference. The problem seems to be related to the fact that the textbox is in a grid. Only the ESC key seems to be a problem since this textbox is a modified version of the InGrid class that uses lots NODEFAULTs that work without problems in the KeyPress.

>>I used your idea of using the form's KeyPress event and check for the ESC key. This works, however I had to move the textbox.ilEditMode property to a form.ilEditMode. I don't like this since it's against encapsulation. But I currently don't see any other solution.

>>>Just curious, did you set ESCAPE OFF? If it is ON, I guess it is the problem. If OFF... I guess it is because form handled key pressings separately if control did not handle them in grid. NODEFAULT should prevent this behavior, however, I'm not wondered because there are a lot of otehr problems in controls inside grid - bet you found one more ;)
