I have a dialog box which uses a list box and a Prof UIS push button. When the user selects any item in the list box and presses enter/return key, I need for the default push button to be activated. This isnt happening with Prof UIS push button.

Only the button is getting the default style but not the behavior. When I press the enter or return key it doesnaˆ™t not invoke the handler for the default button. So something is still missing.

We tried to repeat the reported behavior using the standard and Prof-UIS buttons and in both cases we failed to reproduce this. The button handler is not invoked. Would you provide more details about the problem?

I have sent the sample which shows that DM_SETDEFID isnt working with Prof UIS.

You can use the following code to make the button default.

void MyDialog::OnSelectChange() 
{
//  ::SendMessage( m_hWnd, DM_SETDEFID, ID_ADD_CHILD, 0L );

    m_btnAddChild.SendMessage(
        BM_SETSTYLE,
        BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,
        TRUE
        );
}

Well it works when I fire the DM_SETDEFID message within the focus handler of the list box in the IconEditor sample. But in my application I am using a dialog box present within a CExtControlBar and it doesnt seem to be working in this scenrio.

OK you have set the Default Button property to true for the push button. How can I do it without setting this property to true? My application uses the DM_SETDEFID to set a button as the default button but this doesnt seem to work with the Prof UIS button since it is owner drawn.

Although this message is not supported by Prof-UIS, it is not a problem to implement it. But it would be very convenient to receive a modified version of the IconEditor sample from you, which demonstrates the problem.

We cannot confirm this issue. You can make sure of this yourself using the IconEditor sample. When Enter is pressed on the focused list box, the Edit button becomes pressed.
