DefaultButton What's wrong with this code?

HtmlForm frm = (HtmlForm)Maste r.FindControl(" formMain");
frm.DefaultButt on = "btnSubmit" ;
txtCall.Focus() ;

Running this code produces the following error message:

The DefaultButton of 'formMain' must be the ID of a control of type
IButtonControl.

btnSubmit is a System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Butt on which implements
IButtonControl.

Is this a bug?

You could use this free control to solve the problem.

And here are a couple good articles on the subject:

Thank you Steve, but neither of the links you sent answers my question
about why the code doesn't work. The code is from ASP.NET 2.0 and the
Default button property is a new property of the form object. My
question is why does this not work as it should.

Try assigning DefaultButton to the ClientID of the button.

Something like this:
HtmlForm frm = (HtmlForm)Maste r.FindControl(" formMain");
IButtonControlb tn = (IButtonControl )Master.FindCon trol("btnSubmit ");
frm.DefaultButt on = btn.ClientID;
txtCall.Focus() ;

Sorry, UniqueID is what I meant (didn't have the docs in front of me).
That is the correct behavior - it is not a bug.

When it was reported a year ago it was a bug. They simply rewrote the

this is a re-post of an earlier message. i'm posting it under my MSDN alias for a better chance of reply :) when you press return in a multiline textbox, you expect to insert a newline.

This is a potentially serious problem and certainly a...

We can set the default button and focus field in ASP.Net 2.0 on the Form tag. My form tag is in the Master page, but the controls are in containers. I read through a few articles which did not work.

hi, asp.net 2. can anyone explain why this code does not work in firefox (2.0.0.1), but does work in IE 7. if you hit enter after typing something into the textbox, it should fire the Submit button click handler, instead it fires the event for the bogus button above it. btw it doesn't matter if i set it to ClientID, UniqueID or "btnSubmit" hard-coded, they all fail. <form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:Button ID="Button1"...

Hi, When you use multiple asp:Buttons on one Form, then asp.net generates html submit buttons for all of them. When you put your cursor in one of the textfields of the form, the default submit button is the first submit button of the form. So if you press enter, then the form is submitted as if you pressed the first submit button of the form. But sometimes, you want the default button to be the second or third submit button of your...
