Applying the [uidefault] attribute to a member of an interface or a dispinterface tells Visual Basic, at design-time, to automatically display this event or property to the user. This means that when the user double-clicks an object, Visual Basic jumps to the event in the default source interface that has the [uidefault] attribute. When the user selects an object, Visual Basic's Properties browser displays the property in the default source interface that has this attribute. If no event or property has the [uidefault] attribute, Visual Basic displays the first event or property listed in the default interface.
