That is your issue maybe, it is not a bug in the DialogBox code. It is expected behaviour and it is by design. That is the way all dialogues work in Windows. To activate the control that has focus use the space bar, not the enter key - the enter key always "presses" the default button. Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.	[reply]

Yes it is a bug. I have latest Tk, and I tested, see Re^3: Dialog box Binding issue. Try for yourself (tab over to cancel, hit enter). Tk::messageBox `perl -MTk -e"print tkinit->messageBox(qw, -default ok -type okcancel , +)" Cancel` [download] Tk::MsgBox `perl -MTk -e"print tkinit->MsgBox(qw, -default ok -type okcancel ,)->S +how" Assuming 'require Tk::MsgBox;' at -e line 1 cancel` [download] Tk::DialogBox (expected cancel, returns ok) `perl -MTk -e"print tkinit->DialogBox(qw, -buttons , , [qw, ok cancel , +])->Show" Assuming 'require Tk::DialogBox;' at -e line 1 ok perl -MTk -e"print tkinit->DialogBox(qw, -default_button ok -buttons , + , [qw, ok cancel ,])->Show" Assuming 'require Tk::DialogBox;' at -e line 1 ok` [download] Changing the default to cancel, then tabbing over selecting ok, and hitting enter, produces cancel, its a bug `perl -MTk -e"print tkinit->DialogBox(qw, -default_button cancel -butto +ns , , [qw, ok cancel ,])->Show"` [download] Wx (wxYES is 2, wxNO is 8, and it returns 8 as expected). `perl -MWx=wxYES,wxNO -e"warn wxYES;warn wxNO; die Wx::MessageBox( 1 , +2, wxYES\|wxNO )" 2 at -e line 1. 8 at -e line 1. 8 at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This is a bug in Tk::DialogBox, you should report it here. To test run widget, under "Common Dialogs" click on "1. Message boxes.", when "messageBox Demo" pops up, choose Type OkCancel, then click "Message Box" button, and perform the test (tab over to cancel button, hit enter). Default is "Tk::DialogBox", and selecting Cancel and hitting enter doesn't work (falsely returns that you selected Ok). If you click radio button to switch to Tk::MsgBox , and perform test again, you will get Cancel as expected.	[reply]
