I agree, this is better than my version.

In my testing, 'Next' does indeed become the default button after I 
click outside of the textbox, but there's no visual indication of this.

The MSDN page for DM_SETDEFID 
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645413(v=vs.85).aspx) 
mentions a different situation where button highlighting doesn't 
accurately reflect the default button.  In that case it suggests sending 
a BM_SETSTYLE message to change the border style.

I looked at the documentation for BM_SETSTYLE, but it wasn't obvious to 
me what do do.
