[RESOLVED] ControlStyle.Selectable not functioning properly?

Well the title says it all. I have my own control which inherit System.Windows.Forms.Control

The only functionality that this control requires is the capability of losing and gaining focus. I learned this requires the control style of selectable to be applied which is descriptive as exactly what I'm in need of, "If true, the control can receive focus.".

However after applying this style in my code, the control still refuses to have anything to do with gaining or losing focus. :confused:

Other styles I have applied to this particular control are as fallowed
UserPaint, AllPaintingInWmPaint, and SupportsTransparentBackColor. I'm not sure but perhaps one of these other styles interferes with the one that's not working properly.


Thanks and hope someone has some insight here for me! :)

try this. the control is selectable both in code + onMouseDown:

vb Code:

Public Class myControl
    Inherits Control
 
    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Selectable, True)
        MyBase.SetStyle(ControlStyles.StandardClick, True)
    End Sub
 
    Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
        MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)
        If Not MyBase.Focused Then MyBase.Focus()
    End Sub
 
End Class

Exactly what I was missing, thanks!

I wasn't aware that StandardClick and Selectable work jointly, like UserPaint and AllPaintingInWmPaint.
