Building a application in winforms with alot of pure powershell functions inside its code. As for now around 6k lines. And i wanted to make the login-logic a more modern touch so i changed the default

$loginButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$form.AcceptButton = $loginButton

to instead use

$loginButton = New-Object Windows.Forms.Panel
$form.Controls.Add($loginButton)

But with this new object, i cant find any information on how to make it accept "ENTER" key as before. Atleast not without having to add my whole code-logic again inside a button press with alot of events inside. And that breaks my whole application...

    A panel is merely a container for other controls. You can only assign a button object (or a link label) to .AcceptButton; presumably, it is fine for such a button to be contained inside a panel. Commented Apr 21 at 17:22

    Enable Visual Styles, make the Button Flat. It's going to look like a small panel (kind of). Set the Border size to 0, also the Down and Hover colors. Add an image if that gives it a more modern touch Commented Apr 21 at 18:28

Using the following giving the button desired effect, thought you had to use a panel in a panel type object. But seems button type works good on panels too as described by resolution comment(s).

´$loginButton = New-Object Windows.Forms.Button
$form.Controls.Add($loginButton)
$form.AcceptButton = $loginButton´

Suggested by @Jimi. Thank you also @mklement0
