The button is OK.
I found that I could get the button to work by entering the Return key
equivalent in IB, stubbing out awakeFromNib. However, the *appearance* of
the button is still non-default.
Also, Hillegass instructs to set up the FirstResponder of the window to
point to the textField. I had done that earlier and thought that it might
be interefing so I eliminated it along with the entire textField in IB, then
made a new textField without messing with FirstResponder. I found that the
textField behaves just as though the FirstResponder still existed (perhaps
this is a new default behavior with a single textField). The button
appearance was not fixed.
So, right now, the button works as though it were the default (thanks to the
IB key equivalent field) but it does not *look* like a default button. I
searched again for some difference in what I did vs. what the
BackgroundExporter code looks like and cannot find any real differences.
Moreover, the debugger behaves as though all it well -- no errors, no nil
outlets.
BTW, all of this is with Xcode 3.0 and OS 10.5.2.
