I have been trying to figure out how to highlight the default
buttons in a dialog.  However I have been unsuccessfull.  Can
anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.  Below is the code segment
I am using to do this.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    int ItemHit, ItemType;
    DialogPtr AcquDLOG;
    Handle ItemHandle;
    Rect ItemRect;
    GrafPtr SavePort;

    AcquDLOG = GetNewDialog(rParmAcquDLOG, NIL_POINTER, MOVE_TO_FRONT);
    GetPort(&SavePort);
    SetPort(AcquDLOG);
    /*
    Highlight the default button
    */
    GetDItem (AcquDLOG, iAcquOK, &ItemType, &ItemHandle, &ItemRect);
    PenSize (3,3);
    InsetRect(&ItemRect, -4, -4);
    OffsetRect(&ItemRect, 50, 50);
    FrameRoundRect(&ItemRect, 16, 16);
    PenSize (1,1);
