The operating system uses what is referred to as the dialog manager to
control how dialogs behave.  Part of what it does it determine what
the 'default' push button is at any time.  You are proably working at
cross purpose to the dialog manager.

I haven't looked at your program, but you probaly need to set the
style to "DEFAULT" and set the focus.  Something like this:

prodControls[pbSaveChanges]~style = "DEFAULT"
prodControls[pbSaveChanges]~state = "FOCUS"

Part of the problem is the implementation of ooDialog.  Rather than
using set focus to move the focus in you should use the WM_NEXTDLGCTL
message.  But, ooDialog doesn't expose that anywhere.  Something that
should be added.

Setting the focus directly bypasses the dialog manager.  Using
WM_NEXTDLGCTL goes through the dialog manager.

Also, it could be you are not assigning a DEFAULT button when you
create your dialog.  If the Save Changes button is always the one that
should be activated when the user hits Enter, just make it the default
button from your resource editor.

It could be that in the program there is no button with the DEFAULT
style.  In which case, the button with the focus will be the button
pushed when Enter is hit.
