Aargh - so I was right.

Benoit, please change it back, it means I have to rearrange all my 
message boxes. Otherwise I would have to reverse polarity of my fingers :-)

CANCEL IS NEVER THE DEFAULT - and it hasn't been in any GUI I have ever 
known for 30 years. When used to key operation, every user would expect 
Return to be on "OK", "YES", "Save" or whatever, and Esc on "Cancel", 
"No", "Abort".

If you want to keep it, why not offer a Boolean which changes the order 
so the programmer can choose?

The only way to save me here would be making my own message dialog which 
sets the first button to Default and the second one to Cancel.

Rolf
