Is the requirement to prevent a textbox control from receiving focus?

>In the May 2003 issue of the FoxPro Advisor there is a tip called "Control Valid() Fires Even When Read-Only." It made perfect sense so I added it to my base textbox class. My problem is how to handle the RETURN .T. in the base class so processing stops. In a subclassed textbox, I have DODEFAULT() to call the base class code but after the code runs, it still processes the code of the subclassed textbox.
