I want to change the default Value for a Textbox.Text
propety.

I have tried:

me.text = "myDefaultValue"

But This must be in proceedure that runs when the
textbox or form is loaded.  What method fires?

I have also tried.
Public Shadows Text as string = "myDefaultValue"
But this overrides its behavior.

Thanks in Advance for any Help.

Hello,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Newsgroups.

You can add the code to New() subroutine. The code looks like:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim t As New mytextbox()
        t.Left = 20
        t.Top = 20
        t.Width = 100
        t.Height = 30
        t.Visible = True
        Me.Controls.Add(t)
    End Sub

Public Class mytextbox
    Inherits TextBox
    Public Sub New()
        Me.Text = "default text"
    End Sub
End Class

If you have any questions, please reply to this post.

Thanks for the reply.  I was able to set a default for a custom property
I create per your instructions.  But the text propert continues to
default to the name of the textbox control.

Is there anyway to override this behavior?

Hello,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Newsgroups.

I can use the code to change the text property.

Can you post your code snippet?
