I have been trying to change the default button in a Win32::GUI script and have not had any luck. By default, I mean the button that gets its Click event called when I hit the enter key. As I understand it, the -default option sets the dark border around the button and the -ok option sets the action default. While getting the dark border around the button is nice, it is not necessarry in my application. I have tried quite a few different things and, of course, none of them worked. Here is an example of my last feable attmept: 
use strict;
use Win32::GUI;

my $mainform = Win32::GUI::Window->new(-name=>'main',-text=>'test',-wi
+dth=>200,-height=>200,-dialogui=>1);
my $button1 = $mainform->AddButton(-name=>'button1',-top=>10,-left=>10
+,-text=>"button1",-ok=>1);
my $button2 = $mainform->AddButton(-name=>'button2',-top=>40,-left=>10
+,-text=>"button2",-ok=>0);

$mainform->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();

exit;

sub button1_Click
{
    $mainform->MessageBox("You clicked button1.  Changing the default 
+to button2.","button1");
    $button1->Change(-ok=>0);
    $button2->Change(-ok=>1);
}

sub button2_Click
{
    Win32::GUI->MessageBox("You clicked button2.  Changing the default
+ to button1.","button2");
    $button2->Change(-ok=>0);
    $button1->Change(-ok=>1);
}

sub main_Termintate
{
    $mainform->Hide();
    return -1;
}

I have tried all sorts of combinations using the -default and -ok options like only setting one or the other or setting them to different values and have gotten nowhere. Is this even possible? I thought perhaps I needed to refresh the window, but I can't seem to find a function to do that other than those dealing with redraws. I tried to Hide() the window before making the change and then Show() the window after the change which makes the change of -default show up but nothing more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
