Dear all,

I have an edit box inside my ActiveX control. I want to disable mouse activation of the edit box when the user clicks on it. I want the activeX control itself to get the focus?

The only way I found that works is to disable the Edit box...which is not what I want.

Please can anyone help, as my project deadline is getting tight.

Thanks


Matthew

Windows themselves cannot get the focus, by design; instead, one of the controls must have the focus. The only way I can think of is to override the parent window's OnSetFocus() and prevent it from putting the focus on one of its children. Whether this will work or not I don't know.
