How to ignore events?

[Delegate]

I want to ignore the mouse click event means whenever the event fired it just get ignored (nothing happen). For example I have a TextBox but when I click on it nothing happen, it just ignores the click event. I don't want to use the Enabled property cause it changes its apperance. Thanks in advance.

Just don't write a method that fires when it's clicked...

Usually in a case like this I reate a new class derived fromm the control that I wasnt to modify, then basically override those event methods. Might be the long way to do it.... Mark

Hi! I don't know if this really is a good idea. Because you user expects a visual feedback. If you disable the listbox, let it look disabled and don't fool your user. But if you want to do it, do the following: 1)Derive a class from TextBox 2)Override WndProc. And call the base-class method on all messages except WM_CLICK. This should work.

I agree what u said and I tried the way you suggest it works great. But there is a problem it can be a expensive call, cause it goes in WndProc all the time cause events are firing all the time. Is there another way, like just detach that attached event. I will be really thankful to you.
