[Xerte] default button

[Elly Langewis]

Hi Julian,

Whatever I type as myButtonID - ID, rs, name, or
'_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.Int_MC7.but9' - the focus does not change
(debug(Selection.getFocus()). Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? As the
get does work, I think the set should work too.

Elly
