Seems like you want to change the button state not style - checking around you
might want to use Button_SetState macro or BM_SETSTATE message TRUE to
highlight, FALSE to reset:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb849168(v=vs.85).aspx

with Button_SetStyle macro or BM_SETSTYLE message style BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON |
BS_CENTER | BS_VCENTER | BS_TEXT | ...  as appropriate, so that ENTER works like
a click:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb775951(v=vs.85).aspx

When content is first added to the Search text box and while content exists, you
may want to BM_SETSTATE FALSE and clear BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON on [Next], then after
the next action, BM_SETSTATE TRUE and set BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON on [Next].
