Where is the "default" property of the Command Button Object in VB.net

Hello 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

(VB2005)

That behavior is now limited to one or two buttons on any given form.

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".

For the most part, the concept of a "default" property has gone away.
In VB.NET, only an indexed property can be marked as default using an
attribute. 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.

Actually, the functionality is still there in VB.NET, but it has been moved
to the form itself.
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

Boy did I misread the your post... Sorry

We are in the 21st century, 25 years after the first PC and people still
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.

Sometimes your application may require typing some text into a field. A
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'.

Greg,

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.

Huh?! I believe I am not the only one who is using the keyboard extensively
to enter data and click buttons...
