This may answer both your questions:

Use the DM_SETDEFID message to set the default button in a dialog

Use the WM_NEXTDLGCTL message instead of SetFocus()

// set default button
SendMessage(_hwnd, DM_SETDEFID, (WPARAM)ID_MYBUTTON, 0);
//TODO: if the former default button's style remains, update with BM_SETSTYLE

// set focus
SendMessage(_hwnd, WM_NEXTDLGCTL, (WPARAM)GetDlgItem(_hwnd, IDC_NAME), TRUE);
