Hi,
I have a search for where we want the user to enter the search criteria in
at the top and press enter, then the results are shown in a datagrid which we
set the focus to. Once they select the item they want to choose then they
press enter to accept the form.
The problem is when you go into the form butSearch is set to AcceptButton
for the form, once you have selected the search criteria to populate the data
grid then we want to make butOK the AcceptButton for the form.
The butOK does have the highlight round it to say its the default button but
once you set it in code you can't even click on it with the mouse?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

Just a suggestion:
Don't have any acceptbutton.
If the user is in the search box, keypress 13 ( <ENTER> ) causes the
search, as well as clicking the search button.
If the user is in the grid, keypress 13 causes accept action, as well as
clicking the accept button.

Yeah I did think of that but thought I'd try to use the AcceptButton as its
neater. Looks like a bug in .NET 2003 then. Ok i'll use they keypress instead.
Thanks for your help

Ok, my situation is like this.

Situation 1: (works fine)

I have noticed that if a user closes a form via pressing return (either
while the OK button has focus or if AcceptButton is set to OK for the form)
then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad
for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by
calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just
reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

Hello all.
I'm trying to figure out exactly what is going on here. I'm getting
different results on different forms, and it's driving me nuts.
For example, I have a form called FormFinish. It's AcceptButton is set
to btnExport and the CancelButton is set to btnCancel.
btnExport on FormFinish has no event code whatsoever (not even for
click.) When the user either clicks the button or presses enter on the

Hello!
I'm reading a book which mentioned about this AcceptButton property for a
form which seems quite easy so I try to figure out how it works but I have

I have this small easy program below which show two buttons called button1
and button2.
In this program when the Enter key is clicked event handler for button1 is

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
