How to prevent stealing focus when clicking on a usercontrol?

Question

I want to be able to click on my user control and not have it steal focus from any other control. I know when you click on a label it doesn't steal focus. How can this be done?

Try disabling your control's ControlStyles.Selectable flag.

I just tried it in the constructor and OnLoad of my control and it didn't work: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Selectable, false); – John_Sheares Jan 27 '11 at 01:07
