    Resolved [RESOLVED] Default button on Form

    Hello All.
    I'm working on some project for Windows Mobile (Pocket PC 2003).
    And, i can't find AcceptButton property for Form object.
    Does anybody know, how can I set default button property for Form in VB.NET project for Windows Mobile.
    And also CancelButton.
    Thanks a lot!

    P.S. Sorry for my english. And without KeyPreview property, only with standard methods.

    You need to use WndProc to capture window messages, then if the message corresponds to the 'enter' button, use

    Code:
    MyDefaultButton.PerformClick()
    - VS2008 Express, Access, SQL Server 2005 Express, VB/C#/ADO.NET -

    Hey,

    Not everything that exists in Windows Form Applications exists for Windows Mobile applications. So you have to work around certain things. This looks like one of those times.

    The concept of AcceptButton doesn't really make sense for Windows Mobile Applications, as the user will either be using a touchscreen input, or stylus, in which case the flow is a lot different.

    You might choose is instance to use the menu control and use one of the hardware keys the default action for the form.

    Hope this helps!!
