To prevent an individual control from receiving focus, set its Enabled property to false.

Examples

The following example sets the focus to the specified Shape, if it can receive focus.

public void ShapeSetFocus(Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Shape shape)
{
    // Set focus to the control, if it can receive focus.
    if (shape.CanFocus)
    {
        shape.Focus();
    }
}

Public Sub ShapeSetFocus(ByVal shape As Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Shape)
    ' Set focus to the control, if it can receive focus.
    If shape.CanFocus Then
        shape.Focus()
    End If
End Sub
