How to set customized tabstop color for a button in vb.net

I have placed a backgrou开发者_Go百科nd image on my windows application form and when tab stops to a particular button it's color is changed and looks awkward...Can anyone tell me that how can I set some customized color for tabstop or set its value to null????

I've tried the answer from BalaR i.e. button.ShowFocusCues = falase in load event of the form but it says that it can't be used like this and it is protected

try ShowFocusCues to false

button.ShowFocusCues = false; 

to hide focus rectangle.

I didn't notice it was a protected member. You have two options

• use reflection to set the protected member (not recommended)

• create a derived class and set the protected member as you'd like. (the right way)

  class MyButton : Button
  {
      protected override bool ShowFocusCues
      {
          get { return false; }
      }
  }
  

You can also set TabStop to false.

button.TabStop = false;

if you don't want the button to obtain focus during tab cycle.
