4and is one of the commonest elements of a GUI. It may be placed on a
5\rtfsp\helpref{dialog box}{wxdialog} or \helpref{panel}{wxpanel}, or indeed
6almost any other window.

97
98\membersection{wxButton::SetDefault}\label{wxbuttonsetdefault}
99
100\func{void}{SetDefault}{\void}
101
102This sets the button to be the default item for the panel or dialog
103box.
104
105\wxheading{Remarks}
106
107Under Windows, only dialog box buttons respond to this function. As
108normal under Windows and Motif, pressing return causes the default button to
109be depressed when the return key is pressed. See also \helpref{wxWindow::SetFocus}{wxwindowsetfocus}\rtfsp
110which sets the keyboard focus for windows and text panel items,\rtfsp
111and \helpref{wxWindow::GetDefaultItem}{wxwindowgetdefaultitem}.
112
113Note that under Motif, calling this function immediately after
114creation of a button and before the creation of other buttons
115will cause misalignment of the row of buttons, since default
116buttons are larger. To get around this, call {\it SetDefault}\rtfsp
117after you have created a row of buttons: wxWindows will
118then set the size of all buttons currently on the panel to
119the same size.
120
