From: Nate Dudenhoeffer on 5 Jul 2010 21:13
I frequently use buttons in my projects, and almost always use the
Mehod->"Queued" option. Is there a way to change the default setting so I
don't have to type this every time? It seems like this should be possible
using a stylesheet, but I don''t know the syntax. Any help would be
appreciated.

Hi Nate,

You can see the default options using:
In[1]:= Options[Button]
Out[1]= {Active->True,Alignment->Automatic,Appearance-
>Automatic,AutoAction->False,Background->Automatic,BaselinePosition-
>Automatic,BaseStyle->GenericButton,DefaultBaseStyle->Button,Enabled-
>Automatic,Evaluator->Automatic,FrameMargins->Automatic,ImageMargins-
>0,ImageSize->Full,Method->Preemptive}

You can set options with:
In[2]:= SetOptions[Button,Method->"Queued"]
Out[2]= {Active->True,Alignment->Automatic,Appearance-
>Automatic,AutoAction->False,Background->Automatic,BaselinePosition-
>Automatic,BaseStyle->GenericButton,DefaultBaseStyle->Button,Enabled-
>Automatic,Evaluator->Automatic,FrameMargins->Automatic,ImageMargins-
>0,ImageSize->Full,Method->Queued}

in principle it would be possible to set Options for Button globally,
like this:

SetOptions[Button,Method->"Queued"]

but since Button might be used at many places you might break things
outside of your package if you do so. I'd probably rather define a
myButton as follows and use that in your projects, then you'd be sure to
not break other code...

SetAttributes[myButton,HoldRest];

Options[myButton]=Replace[Options[Button],_[Method,_]:>(Method->"Queued"),{1}]

myButton[label_,code_,opts:OptionsPattern[]]:=With[{
newopts=Sequence@@Flatten[{opts,Options[myButton]}]
},
Button[label,code,newopts]
]


hth,

Although this would be the way to do this, I would strongly recommend
against it since considerable breakage of other things can occur. The
simple reason is that any other button that appears in any other user
interface (including the ones that come with mathematica itself such
as the preferences UI) would then end up using Method->"Queued".
It is generally best to explicitly set the Method option for Button
or any other similar user interface widgets....
