Focus of Textbox

[vishnu]

Hu all,

is there any way to make a textbox take no focus at all. That is it doesnt
take focus by tabs (tabstop=false) & also doesnt take a focus when mouse
is clicked inside it.

thanx in advance.

Disable it. Or if you don't like it being grayed out, put it on a
disabed control container.

Vishnu,
If what you are trying to have is a text display which the user can't
change or select, then why not show that text as a Label control, and set
the Border Style to 1-Fixed Single, and the BackColor to any of the Whites
(HightLigt Text, for example).


Then you can set the text in code as the Label.Caption.

This looks just like a text box, but cannot be seelcted with the mose, and
cannot be editted.
