no-focus control

Question

How do I make it so that all controls on a form do not receive focus when clicked or tabbed...like Windows calc...thanks!

I would write a generic handler for all the generic GotFocus events Protected Sub MyMainGotFocus(sender As Object e As EventArgs) 'set the focus elsewhere MyLabel.Focus() End Sub To use this you will need to add this method as an event handler to each and every control you wish to not receive focus. AddHandler ctl1.GotFocus AddressOf MyMainGotFocus AddHandler ctl2.GotFocus AddressOf MyMainGotFocus AddHandler ctl2.GotFocus AddressOf MyMainGotFocus AddHandler ctl2.GotFocus AddressOf MyMainGotFocus Best regards Rick

May be: - set TabOrder to 0 for all controls - call Focus() method of proper control (form) in click (mousedown mouse up?) event handler for all controls.
