While we are on this topic, there are several dialog boxes on Windows
that when you click their default button, the window stays open but the
button's action is no longer valid. One of these (and one only) was set
to disable the button, but this behavior caused no button to have the
focus, breaking keyboard shortcut compatibility. If there is a
cross-platform way for me to implement a "SetFocus" type of event, this
would improve the interface many times over on Windows. My newfound
insight from most Windows users that if it can be clicked, they will
click it, and keep clicking if it doesn't do anything, our current
behavior. I would be happy to go through and add the code needed, but I
could not find out how to set the focus on one of our dialogs.
