Default Button, not so default

[zackrspv]

So, let's say I have a button:

$Send = GUICtrlCreateButton("Send", 550, 550, 57, 53, $BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
GUICtrlSetState($EditSend, $GUI_FOCUS)

And then i have some more buttons:

$imgButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton("IMG", 8, 603, 20, 20, $BS_BITMAP)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "image.bmp")
$codeButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton("<>", 28, 603, 20, 20, $BS_BITMAP)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "code.bmp")
$linkButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Link", 48, 603, 20, 20, $BS_BITMAP)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "link.bmp")
$emailButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton("@", 68, 603, 20, 20, $BS_BITMAP)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "email.bmp")
$quoteButton = GuiCtrlCreateButton('""', 88, 603, 20, 20, $BS_BITMAP)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "quote.bmp")

Note, that the other buttons are not default. If, when i press one of the OTHER buttons, the default stays at that other button, and not the REAL default.

Note, when I call my routines:

Case $codeButton
            $OpenTag = "[" & "code]"
            $CloseTag = "[" & "/code]"
            Replace_MySelection()
    GUICtrlSetState($EditSend, $GUI_FOCUS)

I do reset the focus back to the edit send. But, how does one reset the button back to the main pushbutton? Should i make it do something like this:

Case $codeButton
            $OpenTag = "[" & "code]"
            $CloseTag = "[" & "/code]"
            Replace_MySelection()
    GUICtrlSetState($Send, $GUI_FOCUS)
    GUICtrlSetState($EditSend, $GUI_FOCUS)

Would that work?

You have been setting the focus to $EditSend when I think you want $send.

BW if your code looks all messed up in this reply, it's because you used those bloody autoit tags. Normaly I wouldn't even reply to this message because of it.

As to the autoit tags, i keep forgetting to use /code haha, i'll get that fixed later.

The reason why I use $EditSend is because it changes the focus back to the edit box sot he client's don't have to constantly keep clicking on it.

Note, if i change the buttons to images, (with the exception of the 'send' button), the default send button works just fine, but i can't do that because of another requirement in my script

How can i force the $send button to be default no matter what?

por que?

From the help file:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

$BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON = 0x0001

Creates a push button with a heavy black border. If the button is in a dialog box, the user can select the button by pressing the ENTER key, even when the button does not have the input focus. This style is useful for enabling the user to quickly select the most likely option, or default.

So, is your GUI a dialog box?

I'm actually gonna not really follow up on this individual post only because i asked it better in another post. But no, my GUi is a complete chat application, that'd be kinda silly to put in a dialog box BUt that still doesn't negate the fact that i want the button to be default; there has to be some method to do this.

But like i said, this topic is better off deleted as i'm following it in another thread.
