Determine if an OK button is clicked

[Chong]

Quick question. Will anyone show me how to determine if a button is clicked or not in a form? I want to determine if an OK button is clicked or not.

Thanks!

When you double click on the control in the design view it will open up the command button's click event.

Private Sub cmdOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOK.Click
        MsgBox("Ok button pressed")
End Sub

Thanks for the response but here's what I want. Perhaps I should be more precise.

I have two forms, form1 and form2. In form2 I have two buttons, btnCancel and btnOK. In form1, I want to determine if form2.btnOK is clicked or form2.btnCancel is clicked.

On form2 set btnOk as the AcceptButton and btnCancel as the CancelButton of the form. Then in their click event set the DialogResult to the proper value (ok/cancel) and close the form. Then when you show the form use ShowDialog instead of Show and it will return which button was pressed.

Thanks for the help. How do I set the btnOK to AcceptButton and btnCancel to CancelButton?

AcceptButton and CancelButton are properties of the form, set them there.
