Hello,

This is a very trivial problem, however it is vexing me. Any help would be
gratefully received.

I have a form, with a textfield and a few buttons, the functionality I want
to give the user is once they have finished
typing their query in the text box, when the press return enter a default
button (say submit) is pressed.

However I can't get the button into focus so what they have to do currently
is physically click on the button.

Is there a way I can set focus on the button to automatically to accept the
user pressing the enter key?

Thanks
 
Just assign the AcceptButton property to the button:

this.acceptbutton = this.btnClose

For example.

Bye!

Click to expand...

Assign the button to the form's 'AcceptButton' property. Note that you
can specify a cancel button too ('CancelButton').
