i want to override a button property in winform not an event

Would you not have to inherit the button control into your own class and expand on it from there?

You'd have to create your own Button class and override the property. To make the Text property disappear and have the Text on the button be forced to something:

Imports System.ComponentModel
 
Public Class MyButton
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Button
 
    <Browsable(False)> _
    Public Overrides Property Text() As String
        Get
            Return "This is my custom button!"
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            ' Just don't do anything with this
        End Set
    End Property
End Class

You need a new Class called size with properties for X and Y etc.
Then on your control create a property to type Size

hi,
suppose textbox name is txtfocus then use following code

Private Sub txtFocus_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtFocus.KeyPress<br />
        If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) Then  'or if e.keychar=chr(13)<br />
           form2.show<br />
        End If<br />
    End Sub

Hi everyone,
I am having problems with the crystal report viewer. It cant load any report saying 'load report failed'. I have never used the control before. I am using vs2005 pro, could it be a bug in the software? Please help.

first u have to design ur report as u like ...,then save ur repot from the menu file (save report.rpt)
then add another new form in order to show ur report there and in the form load event type the following code

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = ("crystalreport1.rpt")<br />

i hope this help

Thankyou for responding to my query. I have been doing exactly as you have suggested but I still get the same error "load report failed". This also happens when I try to set the crystalreportviewer's reportsource property under the controls property's.
