Winforms Default Button

Question

I'm working on a form that has two main buttons, "OK" and "Cancel". I have set the "Accept Button" property of the form to be the "OK" button.

Goal: I would like the "OK" button to be default, so that when the form is opened the "OK" button is highlighted and initiates if the enter key is pressed.

Problem: When the form loads, the "Cancel" button is highlighted, until the user clicks anywhere in the form, then the "OK" button becomes highlighted.

Any suggestions?

Set the ActiveControl property to the OK Button in the Form_Load:

this.ActiveControl = OkButton
