Disable focus on controls?

[brianbasquille]

Hello all,

Simple enough question here, i think!

I have a form which i want to work exclusively with the mouse but
pressing up and down gives focus to two buttons which i have on the
form?

How could i disable focus entirely?

Regards,

Brian

Set the KeyPreview true... and just ignore any key events that you don't
want to in the KeyDown event.. or you could use the KeyPress Event..

Cheers for that Vijay but that didn't work. I put the following in my
form designer:

this.KeyPreview = true;

And under the KeyDown event, i have:

private void MovieListForm_KeyDown(object
sender,System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
{
this.MovieListPage.CurMenuItem++;
}
else if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
{
this.MovieListPage.CurMenuItem--;
}
}

Yet focus is still given to the buttons when i press the Up and Down
arrow.

Any other suggestions?

Regards,

Brian

uhm... your piece of code in KeyDown is interesting.. I have not the same
code here.. but something similar and it works for me... Ok I understand
there is a reason you are doing this, but I don't see anything like ignoring
the Up and Down arrow key..so try this.

if ( e.KeyCode == Keys.Up
|| e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
{
e.Handled = false;
return;
}

that seems to work.. for me here..
