No, 'state' is the highlight when the button is pressed, which is 
different to the outline 'style' when the button is the default (ofc, 
MSDN documentation is as clear as mud, as usual)

The trick here, as you might notice from the patch in my reply, is that 
there's a window hierarchy involved: the IDD_CHOOSE window is embedded 
in the propsheet window, which owns the 'next' control.
