The task of the default pushbutton is to select the corresponding object if the user presses the Return key and if the focus is not on a multilined edittext.

Note for Motif

The pushbutton must be in a dialogbox!

messagebox

.defbutton defines which of the three buttons is to be the default button. If the value is not valid because the button is not visible, the window system selects a default button.

If .defbutton is allocated to more than one visible pushbutton, the DM decides which is the default pushbutton. Therefore, only one pushbutton should be defined as default.
