DISABLE MOUSE FROM BEING USED IN CERTAIN TEXT BOXES

[TNN]

I have a form with 180 text boxes on it. How do I keep the user from not being able to use the mouse in certain or particular text boxes, but is able to use the mouse in others.
Any help is appreciated.

Well I think you can change the properties of text box
like this:

locked = true
enabled= false

try, I think this will solve you problem.

Alternativey, there is a MouseDown event on a textbox. Depends on what you want to allow the user to do. If you simply do not want them to use the mouse to ensure that they follow the tab order the mousedown event will capture this. If, on the other hand, you do not want them to be able to enter anything in the textbox then you should use the locked property.

DSJ1967,
Thank you, That is exactly what I want to do, that is ensure that the user follow the tab order.
Now that I have the MouseDown event what code do I put there to cancel the event and keep that text box from getting the focus. This is probably a dumb question but the answer eludes me.
Thank You,
