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

[simonoficina@gmail.com]

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 "AcceptButt on" and "CancelButt on". If a button exists on a form it
can be assigned as the "AcceptButt on", and, likewise for a "CancelButt on".

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.

Re: Where is the &quot;default&q uot; property of the Command Button Object in VB.net

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.

Re: Where is the &quot;default&q uot; property of the Command Button Object in VB.net

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.

Greg,

I realize that, I thought the OP was talking about default properties
like they existed in VB6 - you know:

Text1 = "Hello, World"

Where you didn't have to specify that it was really Text1.Text. It was
a simple misreading of the OP's post.

It makes about as much sense as "clicking" a button by pressing the space
bar (when the button is highlighted).

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.

Re: Where is the &quot;default&q uot; property of the Command Button Object in VB.net

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.

G'day Tom,

As the OP was talking about VB6, buttons and Enter as a default, I assumed
he meant how you could make the button default to an enter or esc press
which is now handled in VB.NET at the form level. LOL. Now I'm not even sure
what the OP was talking about :)

Cheers mate,
Greg.
