Interesting -- you'll notice that this comes from the .NET
documentation, not the UI guidelines. It looks like Microsoft needs
to update the UI spec, or that .NET doesn't conform to the UI spec.
;-P
Yeah, I did notice that, though it seemed at least vaguely official.
The UI guidelines don't explicitly say the focused pushbutton
*shouldn't* become the default button, though they don't say it
should, either. Of course, the fact that MS supplied System components
have this behavior is also a reasonably good argument in favor of it.
Agreed.
I filed a bug report against their UI spec documentation to include
this juicy tidbit and verified the report as a bug.
