I have some read-only fields in my property grid. I would like these fields not only to be read-only, which I can do with CXTPPropertyGridItem::SetReadOnly(), but I would also like them to be removed from the tab order, so tabbing skips them. I would also like them to not get focus when the user clicks on them. Currently the user can click in a read-only item and the focus goes there with the flashing insertion point. Then when the user types, nothing appears. It would be clearer to the end user that this is a read-only field if the field never receives the focus in the first place.

Thanks.
