Greetings,

I have a case where I've added a button to my Wizard's button container. Is there a way to make that button the default button? Ideally, I'd *love* to do something like "my-new-button then Next". :-)

Sound possible?

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

You'd probably have to make sure the Wizard option for setting default buttons is off and then manually set the IsDefault property on your button instead. Then programmatically change the Next button to be defaulted in certain scenarios where appropriate.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I've turned off the Wizard's option for setting the default button and manually set the IsDefault property on my button. That works perfectly. Now, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm not seeing a way to get to the Next button programmatically so I can access its IsDefault property. The wizard.ButtonContainer.NextButton returns a ButtonBase, which doesn't have IsDefault. Can you please enlighten me on where I should be looking? :-)

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

You could cast it to a Button or better yet, use the C# 'as' keyword to try and cast it. If it is a Button then set the property. It should generally be since our default templates use Button.

Of course, thanks. Just wanted to make sure doing something like that was safe... :-)

Thanks for your help!
