[Gtk-sharp-list] Re: Gtk.Dialog

[Sergio Duran]

Ok, first of all sorry for replying to myself, but I usually find my
answers after asking.. i get a period of insight and solve it all
myself...

I tested and got the gtk# code to work, I have to call 
button.CanDefault=true;
button.HasDefault=true;
Both of them, after calling button.Show() (in my example, it would be
after dialog.ShowAll()), I had been looking for this answer for some
hours, I browsed through some code that added accelerators, but I
wanted to use the HasDefault/ActivatesDefault aproach... it works now.

I'm still new at this, but I hope this will help some other newbies
around later. :)
