Gerard,
In order to add assign method you need to subclass the textbox control. ie:

define class myTextBox as Textbox
 procedure Value_Assign
 lparameters vNewVal
 * do something
 this.Value = vNewVal && Or reject - do not set
endproc
enddefine

However you don't need to create an assign method for value. There are already events that fire when you change value of textbox like InterActiveChange, ProgrammaticChange, Valid. And even LostFocus might be what you need.
