    Disable textbox click

    I have a textbox used as a background on a tabular form. What it does is turn green when a condition is met and basically highlights that record.



    I want to disable the click event. At the moment when clicked it brings this textbox to the front hiding the other textboxes that are meant to be in the front.


    If There is a better way of doing this I'm happy to adjust.

    First set its Tab Stop property to 0.
    Then on it's got focus event set the focus to somewhere else.

    Its the property that if you tab through the controls (pressing the tab or enter key), sets whether the control is allowed to get focus or not.
    If you set TabStop to No you can only get to a control by explicitly clicking on it.
