Default button on a cf form

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

I noticed that I cannot define a button on a compact framework form as the
default button. Therefore, I cannot allow my end users to navigate through
my application using the keypad enter key.

Does anyone have a simple solution for this? I need to trap the message and
then trigger the button event. Triggering the button event I can handle, but
I have no idea how to trap the message! Is there a managed class I can use
for this?

Thank you in advance!

Paula,

Check out the ApplicationEx and IMessageFilter code on www.opennetcf.org.
