The correct button is marked (with a dot) but not highlighted (with a dotted box). So it's easy for the user to press the wrong one accidentally, say by pressing the spacebar.

>>Is there a better way in general of setting the control which is to receive initial focus at run-time? There are many examples of why you would want to do this, eg using the same form for adding a new record and editing an existing record. In the case of adding you would want the first user editable control (say a textbox) to be selected. In the case of editing you would want the OK button selected.

>>My best solution so far is to set a form property flag in the init method and call setfocus in the form's gotfocus. However doing this strangely disables menus which are run in the gotfocus (or activate) in modal forms; which won't worry many folk but my app does that a lot.
