Hover on Disabled checkbox control

How do you set hover for disabled checkboxes ?

I have 46 check boxes that are enabled.
Based on criteria I have disabled some check boxes.

The chkboxes that are enabled I can hover over and get info from.
The disabled chkboxes I can not hover over.

Is there any way to disable or readonly these chkboxes so I can STILL get focus to them

Code:

---

'This puts focus to check box I hover over
'Now I can right click and have context menu
'But if check box is already selected, it is disabled and THIS HOVER DOES NOT WORK
Private Sub chkSet01_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles chkSet01.MouseEnter, chkSet02.MouseEnter '...46
    CType(sender, CheckBox).Focus()
End Sub

---

Thanks in advance

I don't know, but you could put a borderless panel behind each button and trigger the Sub when they hover over that ...
