Hi,

I have some dialogs with 'Previous page' 'NextPage' buttons. When the
current page becomes first, the previous page button is disabled. If I press
escape to exit the dialog at that point, the escape is ignored.

I suspected that since the previous page button has focus, after it was
disabled, the 'wrong' window received focus. I made my own EnableWindow
function. It checks for the change from enabled to disabled and if so it
sets focus to the parent of the button. This works.

Can anyone confirm that this is a bug? Can anyone say if fixing it as I did
makes more problems?

Thanks for your help.
