Where is the "default" property of the Command Button Object in VB.netHello all! I am a vb.net beginner in Spain. When I use VB6 ,the button
object has a property called "default" that can set this button like press "ENTER" key. But in the VB.net I can't find this property. Where is it? Or mabye change the other thing,No?Thanks ! Simon On 23 Aug 2006 18:30:48 -0700, simonofic***@gmail.com wrote:

Look at the form's properties "AcceptButton" and "CancelButton". If a button exists on a form it can be assigned as the "AcceptButton", and, likewise for a "CancelButton".

Which, IMHO, is a very good thing. I always was one of those wackos that thought the use of default properties were evil.... You can mark declare a default property using the default keyword. -- Tom Shelton

Now every form "has a" default button property, whereby a button object can be assigned to this property of the form. In the form's properties go to the AcceptButton and CancelButton and choose the required button from the dropdown lists. Cheers, Greg Greg wrote:

LOL. Now I'm not even sure what the OP was talking about :) Cheers mate, Greg. Greg wrote:

want a Keyboard enter instead of a pointing device click or whatever. Amazing. Are there still people out there using only a 16" floppy disk? This is what I had to think about reading the OP's question. And surely not out of the topic.

simple press of the Enter key would then run the application rather than taking your hand off the keyboard and putting it on the mouse and then clicking a button. The keyboard Enter and the Mouse pointing device will run the same default button code so you can choose EITHER not 'one INSTEAD of the other'. Cheers.

I thought that it was the default behaviour of a webbrowser, you don't mind that I say that I don't like it I am in the middle of a text, want to go to a new line or tab or whatever but my text is send. :-) CorShow quoteHide quote "Greg" <G***@no-reply.ok> schreef in bericht news:ecjgmm$d43$1@mws-stat-syd.cdn.telstra.com.au... > Sometimes your application may require typing some text into a field.

Personally, I got started with heavy data input using the 10 key entry. If it is an accounting system, or something that heavily uses numbers, it is a pain to need to keep the left hand available for the tab key when it could easily be flowing down a printed page keeping track of which line to enter. (Ah the days of entering pages of hex codes from Compute! magazines...) Touch typists can fly through a form much faster using the enter key to move between fields than having to reach for the mouse all the time. Jim Wooley http://devauthority.com/blogs/jwooley/default.aspx The Default and Cancel properties have been removed from the Command
Button object, and have been implemented at the Form level. There is an AcceptButton and CancelButton property on the Form object that serves as the replacement.

I agree if you have selected that button, but on the other hand, do I not like those programs anymore that if I think to do a really enter. That enter is in my idea still from terminals as the VT100 (Unix Terminals) or the 3270 on IBM mainframe, which sends a full screen.
