101
102\membersection{wxButton::SetDefault}\label{wxbuttonsetdefault}
103
104\func{void}{SetDefault}{\void}
105
106This sets the button to be the default item for the panel or dialog
107box.
108
109\wxheading{Remarks}
110
111Under Windows, only dialog box buttons respond to this function. As
112normal under Windows and Motif, pressing return causes the default button to
113be depressed when the return key is pressed. See also \helpref{wxWindow::SetFocus}{wxwindowsetfocus}\rtfsp
114which sets the keyboard focus for windows and text panel items,\rtfsp
115and \helpref{wxWindow::GetDefaultItem}{wxwindowgetdefaultitem}.
116
117Note that under Motif, calling this function immediately after
118creation of a button and before the creation of other buttons
119will cause misalignment of the row of buttons, since default
120buttons are larger. To get around this, call {\it SetDefault}\rtfsp
121after you have created a row of buttons: wxWindows will
122then set the size of all buttons currently on the panel to
123the same size.
124
