No .. I missed something: when you refered to the "default object", I didn't know you were refering to the ".Default property".

Anyway, for the most part, only CommandButtons have a .Default property; so you don't have to evaluate "every" object.

Add a property to your Form to hold a reference to the "default control", and then in the Init event of your button's base class, set this Form property to THIS when THIS.Default = .T.
