I always write my custom user controls in one of two ways. #1 - When a condition is met, I do not do anyStuff() and instead raise the event to the consumer who must do allStuff() themselves. This way if the implementation of the event changes for some reason I do not break any contracts by moving to the new methodology.
It is also nice because it avoids the conundrum you find yourself in at the moment. #2 - Sometimes however, encapsulation of some code is needed for security and/or practicality purposes. In these cases, when a condition is met, I do not do anyStuff() and instead raise an event with a boolean parameter asking the user if they would to allow the default action to take place. If they do not they can do anyStuff() they want and merely return false to the event and they are good to go. R. Joe Reich System Analyst Comcast Communications, Inc.
