MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / November 2004Setting Default Control in User Form
Word 2000 How would I set the default button in a user form? If I wanted the user form to default to a text box when it is displayed, how would I do that? I've been looking through the online Help and the control properties, but I'm just not seeing it. --Tom .TabIndex = 0 ? > Word 2000 > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > --Tom Thanks for the reply. I knew there was a way to do this. In fact, I'd done it before, but could for the life of me remember how! -- Tom State of Montana Department of Justice Help Desk "Making the world a safer place." > .TabIndex = 0 ? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > --Tom > Word 2000 > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > --Tom Hi Tom, When you're "drawing" the userform and its controls at design time, select the button, go to the Properties pane, and change the Default value to True. The effect is that pressing the Enter key is the same as clicking that button. There's also a Cancel property so you can make another button respond to the Esc key. To select a particular text box when the userform displays, set the TabIndex property for that box to 0 (more exactly, to the smallest value for any control that has the TabStop property set to True -- labels and some other controls default to TabStop = False, so they don't count).  SignatureRegards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Jay, Thanks for the reply! I have the text box set to be the default control, and I set Default = True for one button, and Cancel = True for another. It works perfectly now. -- Tom State of Montana Department of Justice Help Desk "Making the world a safer place." > > Word 2000 > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > control that has the TabStop property set to True -- labels and some other > controls default to TabStop = False, so they don't count). |
