Changing the DEFPUSHBUTTON...

[WhorlyWhelk]

I got a bunch of buttons in a dialog box (my main window) and when one is entered I want to change the DEFPUSHBUTTON to a different one.

I tried to do this:
SendMessage(log,BM_SETSTYLE,BS_PUSHBUTTON|BS_TEXT|WS_CHILD|WS_TABSTOP,TRUE);
SendMessage(play,BM_SETSTYLE,BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON|BS_TEXT|WS_CHILD|WS_TABSTOP,TRUE);
And when it draws them like the DEFPUSHBUTTON style has swapped, but when I hit enter it still submits the former one rather than the new DEFPUSHBUTTON and they draw the other way!

Is it possible to swap these?

Did you try using SetWindowLongPtr (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644898.aspx) with GWL_STYLE?

Well, this is just amazing!
I typed "BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON" into Goggle search, and the very first entry pointed to this CodeGuru forum's thread (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
Even more surprizing, there are *my* posts in that old (2001) thread!
See if it will help.
