Default Property

Description

Specifies whether the button is the default button in the backstage view.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Default() As Boolean

Return Type

True if the button is the default button.

Remarks

The Backstage is not a "real" dialog; thus, the Default property will not behave like it would on a typical dialog. This means you must manually process the ENTER press for the parent of this button.

Only one button on a form can be the default button. When the Default property is set to True for one button, it is automatically set to False for all other buttons on the form.
