@corporn

no this is no solution it is only a workaround.

Because I can't use taborders for my customers. If the user press to jump to the next control on form he'll always jump to a special control (what ever one). This "solution" I used before some years - and it is realy bad - the result is a uncontrolled GUI and much more code (U must check if the destination-control is enabled OR U must use "On Error Resume Next" *uaaaa*)

And by the way: nighthawk's "solution" works only, if the user "Click" the button!!! If the user focus the button on another way (like TAB-press) U need code for "On_Focus Event" too!!!

nighthawk's solution is simple and is what has been used by developers for more than the past decade.

I've ran into the same situation with other controls where I don't want it to show a focus rectangle. My solution is to manually move the focus to another control. So, at the end of the click event, have a line such as:

Button1.SetFocus

You can send the focus to any control that has a "SetFocus" method. If there aren't any that you want to get focus, create one and move it off-screen so it is never seen. I don't think it would work to set it to be invisible because I seem to recall that you can't give focus to an invisible control.

Is it possible to remove the focus rect from a pushbutton?
We have an application that uses some small flatstyle buttons with just a 16 pixel image inside.
When the button gains focus, the rectangle is drawn inside the small button temporarily 'destroying' the image.

I've tried to subclass the button to eat the WM_SETFOCUS message. Whilst this works for vb6's native commandbutton, it doesn't seem to be working on the pushbutton.
