- DANG IT! Not more than two minutes after I posted my question I went back and
- started looking at my alert again and noticed that the static text that was
- getting the rectangle around it was item #1. So, I tried something I hadn't
- tried yet - I tried renumbering the items. I made my button item #1, and, you
- guessed it, this time the buttin was surrounded by the "default" rectangle. You
- can tell I haven't got much experience with this yet... Well, it certainly is
- embarassing to post a question on the net and find your own answer within a
- couple of minutes afterwards....
- BUT, this does bring up a couple of new questions. Within the last few weeks I
- seem to remember a guy asking why he couldn't get a default button surrounded
- autonatically by the "default" round-corner rectangle. Someone said that this
- was not autonatic, and discussed ways of doing this. On my machine with THINK
- Pascal it DOES seem to be automatic. Also, why didn't this show up in ResEdit?
- Is this a "feature" of THINK Pascal? It must be, as I created some alerts in
- THINK C before, and I don't recall anything being surrounded by the "default"
- rectangle then.
