Why not just put something in your Textbox baseclass GOTFOCUS method? If you
have VFP8, this would be a good use of BINDEVENT but then you would have to issue a BINDEVENT for every textbox control on the form. Putting code in 1 baseclass textbox seems easier. Or have I missed your point?

>I would like to programmatically add code to all textbox controls on a form. Ideally, the textbox valids would have:

>THISFORM.mcalendorse=.T.

I need to know if the user keyed through the text box controls at all. Can .setall be used for this? How to do it ?
