Its long time since I worked in windows programming, So its like studying again.
I was trying these by linking XWin.rc against my sample application.

Here is what I found. 
Adding WS_TABSTOP was giving me the maximize button.

So to make Cancel as default button I repositioned it.
you could use arrow keys, Tab key, "C" or "E" to move/select buttons.

here is the *.rc 
(PS: I am using IDD_MAIN as Dialogid) 

--------

IDD_MAIN DIALOG DISCARDABLE	    32, 32, 180, 70
STYLE DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Cygwin/XFree86 - Exit?"
BEGIN
  DEFPUSHBUTTON "&Cancel", IDCANCEL, 55, 48, 30, 14
  PUSHBUTTON "&Exit", IDOK,          95, 48, 30, 14
  CTEXT "Exiting will close all screens running on this display.", IDC_STATIC, 7, 12, 166, 8
  CTEXT "Proceed with shutdown of this display/server?", IDC_STATIC, 7, 24, 166, 8
END

--------

Alternately you can keep OK as default button
(PS: I dont like this much, because OK is more damaging)


IDD_MAIN DIALOG DISCARDABLE	    32, 32, 180, 70
STYLE DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Cygwin/XFree86 - Exit?"
BEGIN
  DEFPUSHBUTTON "&Exit", IDOK,       55, 48, 30, 14
  PUSHBUTTON "&Cancel", IDCANCEL,    95, 48, 30, 14
  CTEXT "Exiting will close all screens running on this display.", IDC_STATIC, 7, 12, 166, 8
  CTEXT "Proceed with shutdown of this display/server?", IDC_STATIC, 7, 24, 166, 8
END


In both case pressing "Esc" key will trigger "Cancel" button
because we are using IDCANCEL as its ID

You could use these styles for both EXIT_DIALOG and DEPTH_CHANGE 

I use "SetWindowPos()" to bring it to topmost.
Here is my "WinProc" and "WinMain"

.......
.......

BOOL CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

  switch(Message)
  {
    case WM_INITDIALOG:
      // This is where we set up the dialog box, and initialise any default values

      SetWindowPos(hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0,0,0,0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOMOVE);


.......
.......


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
  LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
  return DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAIN), NULL, DlgProc);
}
