Hi,

I'm facing simple but painful problem with RadButton control for WinForms. I want to prevent button to receive input focus! In my case I have one textbox and button which is used to clear contents of textbox. After click on button textbox must stay focused. Setting "CanFocus" property to false doesn't help! Button allways get input focus. Why? Is there any shortcut? I'm doing something wrong?

Hi Matjaz,

Thank you for using our support system. Just call the Focus() method of your text box at the end of the your button click event handler. I hope this is what you are looking for. Please write back if you need further assistance.

Hi,

Sorry, but you've missed the problem. I just want to disable input focus on the Button control with set "CanFocus" property value to false. Click on button set focus to the button and I don't want that. That's all. How to disable focus on the button???

Hi,

is anybody there???

Hi Matjaz,

Thank you for writing. Please excuse me for the delay in the response.

The CanFocus property is readonly, you can not assign a value to it. There is no way to make the RadButton or even the standard WinForms Button un-focusable. You can set their TabStop properties to false and that is pretty much all you can do. As I wrote previously you can just set the focus to the text box manually.

Actually there is a way but it is not worth the effort for something as simple as this. You can inherit RadButton and override the WndProc method. In it you can ignore all messages that deal with the button focus. Please search the MSDN for articles or threads on how to do that.

Please write again if you have other questions. There is a 72 hour response time for forum posts although we may respond faster.
