Hello Alexander
Not so easy, if not almost impossible.
This is indeed something I also get disturbed with, sometimes.
You would need to follow the path of the Message being forwarded from the
Dialogs Window to the FormViews.View and see how it finds the "default"
button.
I wonder if the relation between controls within a form should be managed
somehow.
My long term plan (after really getting rid of Frame.Input) is to replace
the Form Subsystem by a more sophisticated one (supporting constraints and
graphical features).
And then also to fully support Tree-Controls with Drag and Drop.
Regards
Marco
P.S.: Thanks for the feedback towards the BG-Task-Workaround.

The language is great. The framework is a source of inspiration and
well-formed design patterns. The "goodies"? I rarely, if ever, use
them anywhere. The documentation is quite sufficient (although many
modules are documented as "only used internally" and not documented
- Kernel, for instance).
The issue of background processing being solved (thank you very
much, Marco Ciot!) the next issue on my list is interface. It's
mostly the look-and-feel issue.
I already posted here a picture of a button painted over a
dropped-down combobox's list. (Attached to this letter as
"button_combo.png".) Today I made another screenshot (attached as
"FindRepl.png"). As you can (?) see, three buttons are painted as if
they have focus and fourth button is painted as "default". So, what
happens if you press "Enter"? I find this rather misleading.
Actually the top button is the one I clicked last, so pressing
"Enter" must activate it (by Windows design standards), but the
"default" one is activated. Is there a way to override this
behaviour? I don't even know where to search for the answer.
