I don't know if your concern is having to subclass the TextBoxes, coding PEMSTATUS, or both.

Subclassing is always a good idea IMO; as far as PEMSTATUS, I frequently code "virtual" methods/events ... ie. base methods/events that do "nothing" and are only implemented in the subclasses.

In your case, I would add a "virtual" .GridDoubleClicked() event to the "base" Form you typically use for containing Grids; eg. something like ...

PROC .GridDoubleClicked
   LPARAMETERS oTextBox
   *  Virtual.
   RETURN .T.

In the TextBox Class, I would code:

PROC DblClick
   THISFORM.GridDoubleClicked( THIS )

In the above case, there is not need to code PEMSTATUS. If a Form in question does not wish to respond to .DblClick (from a TextBox), then that Form simply would not override (ie. "implement") .GridDoubleClicked.
