Focusing a field on a form load and default button

[thadley]

Hello,

Well I am making my way through DB connections and the other variety of processes that VB.NET allow, but I have run into two issues that I cannot find in any book. I know that you use a focus method to place the cursor into a text field, but this isn't working under a onLoad function. Are there any tricks to this? Also, does anyone know what command you use to change a button to the default button that is pressed when the user presses the "Enter" key after entering some data in a text field?

Thank you very much in advance for the information.

Thom

Don't know about question 1.
The form has two properties: AcceptButton and CancelButton. Set AcceptButton to activate when the Enter key is pressed.
