Presumably you are talking winforms! GotFocus is an event, you can't disable it, you can disable the control or you can handle the problem inside the event.

if you want to disable a textbox, you can use

textbox.enable = false;

and true to reanable it ofc. If you don't like this solution, you can try to overwrite the GotFocus method to only do "something" if you want it.

textBox1.GetFocus -= this.textBox1_GotFocus;

textBox1.GetFocus += this.textBox1_GotFocus;

Alternatively, you could set a flag to indicate your "disabledness" and act on that;

bool isFocusEnabled = false;

void this.textBox1_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!isFocusEnabled) then return; // exit the method if the flag is set
}

That'd allow you to disable/enable the execution of the event with a simple boolean.
