Question

I have a few text boxes and buttons on my form.

Lets say txtBox1 is next to btnSubmit1, txtBox2 is next to btnSubmit2, txtBox3 is next to btnSubmit3.

How can I set the focus on btnSubmit3 when the user starts to type something in txtBox3. Meaning….. if a user type in a text box the program will know what button to fire when the user press the enter key.

If you use a panel, you should be able to set a defaultbutton. I´m not sure if it´s an win forms application or a web forms application, but this is how you should do it with web forms:

<asp:Panel id='panel1' runat='server' DefaultButton='Button1'>    <asp:TextBox id='textbox1' runat='server' />    <asp:Button id='Button1' runat='server' Text='Button 1' /> </asp:Panel>  <asp:Panel id='panel2' runat='server' DefaultButton='Button2'>    <asp:TextBox id='textbox2' runat='server' />    <asp:Button id='Button2' runat='server' Text='Button 2' /> </asp:Panel>  <asp:Panel id='panel3' runat='server' DefaultButton='Button3'>    <asp:TextBox id='textbox3' runat='server' />    <asp:Button id='Button3' runat='server' Text='Button 3' /> </asp:Panel>
