Default Button	Softel vdm, Inc.

SftButton/OCX can be used as a default button as it implements the necessary functionality. Default button handling also depends on the containing application (i.e., your development tool/language). Certain environments may not properly support a default button (see OLEMISC, OLEMISC_ACTSLIKEBUTTON). Particularly property sheets do not always properly support default buttons.

If a button is defined as the default button, the button is painted using a darker outline. If the user presses the Enter key on a form with a default button, the default button's Click event fires.

.NET

ActiveX controls are not supported as default buttons.

Visual Basic

Visual Basic offers full default button support. The Default property is added to SftButton/OCX by Visual Basic. It defines whether the button is a default button. For more information, please see the Visual Basic documentation.

Visual C++/MFC

A SftButton/OCX button control can be defined as the default button using the CDialog::SetDefID function. This function is called at run-time, usually in the OnInitDialog or OnCreate member function of the parent dialog or window.

Delphi, C++Builder

ActiveX controls are not supported as default buttons.

Other

A SftButton/OCX button control can be defined as the default button using the Windows dialog manager's DM_SETDEFID message. This message is sent to the parent dialog, specifying the ID of the default button, usually while handling the WM_INITDIALOG or WM_CREATE message of the parent dialog or window.
