Indicates that the type information member is the default member for display in the user interface.

Allowed on

Flags

FUNCFLAG\_FUIDEFAULT VARFLAG\_FUIDEFAULT

Remarks

This attribute is used to mark an event as the default (the first one created) or a property as the default (the one to select first in the properties browser).

For example, Visual Basic uses this attribute in the following ways:

• When an object is double-clicked at design time, Visual Basic jumps to the event in the default source interface that is marked as [uidefault]. If there is no such member, then Visual Basic displays the first one listed in the default source interface.

• When an object is selected at design time, by default, the Properties window in Visual Basic displays the property in the default interface that is marked as [uidefault]. If there is no such member, then Visual Basic displays the first one listed in the default interface.
