Default button

[Stan the man]

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows how to retain the default button function on a dialog? After I push the cancel button, if I show the dialog again (showwindow), the OK button no longer has the default "status" and so pushing the return button after entering something into an edit box does not automatically push OK but Cancel now. Is there a way that when I show the window,I force teh OK button to have teh default button status everytime? Thanks in advance! Stan the man

You can use the WM_NEXTDLGCTL message to move focus and default state to the pushbutton you desire.  That, BTW, is the proper message to use to set focus to any dialog control. See here[^] for details... Mark
