[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Outlining Default Buttons

CXT105@psuvm.psu.edu (Christopher Tate) (08/27/90)

I realize that this can be accomplished easily by using the Default CDEF,
but here's the question anyway....

What is the "Apple Thought Police Approved" method of outlining the
default button in dialogs?  Inside Macintosh mentions the approach of
providing a user item in which to draw the outline, and then writing a
procedure to actually draw it, but this strikes me as a little circuitous.

Is there a "better" method?  Most commercial applications that I've
looked at with ResEdit do not have any such user item in their dialog
templates -- how do they do it?
