Hello, Roberto
This problem was discussed here, and Jim Booth suggested the shortest solution, so I just repeat his reply here
********************************************
* From Jim Booth solution

There are a million ways to deal with this, the simpleest is to set the Cancel property of your Cancel button to .T. (which makes
clicking that button equivalent to pressing the escape key). Then start off all Valid code with;

IF LASTKEY() = 27 && escape
RETURN .T.
ENDIF

That's it, no more no using sys(1270) to find out the name of the object the mouse is over, no fancy coding all over the place. You
simply make the Cancel button the Escape button and the check in your valid code to see if the user pressed escape. This not nly
works but is eliminates the question of "How do stop the user from closing my form with the escape button?" Because pressing the
escape key is the same as clicking teh cancle button and pressing escape will run the click code of the cancel button and do all those
thing you've set up for cancelling.
end of Jim Booth solution******************

Also, if you want to know about other approaches, there was an article "PEM for your base classes" by Doug Hennig in February's 1997 FoxTalk. with the solution on the base classes
level for this problem. The general idea is in using of sys(1270) which points to object under the mouse cursor. The code in Valid method from that article:

  * Valid event code
  local oObject
  oObject = sys(1270)
  if lastkey = 27 or (type('oObject') = 'O' and ;
       type('oObject.lCancel') = 'L' and oObject.lCancel)
       return .t.
  endif
  return this.Validation() 

Note that CommandButton class has the custom property lCancel which determines is this button is used as Cancel button, and other
classes have custom Validation method which performs the validation itself.

HTH,
