PORemove Border On Focus From Button Control
text
Body
copied!<p>I am setting my Winforms Button control properties to appear as a hyperlink would on a web page. I've formatted everything fine, except the border in the FlatAppearance object. I have code to act as pseudo-CSS (FormBackColor is a string constant.):</p> <pre><code>b.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat b.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml(FormBackColor) b.ForeColor = Color.Blue b.Font = New Font(b.Font.FontFamily, b.Font.Size, FontStyle.Underline) b.Cursor = Cursors.Hand Dim fa As FlatButtonAppearance = b.FlatAppearance fa.BorderSize = 0 fa.MouseOverBackColor = b.BackColor fa.MouseDownBackColor = b.BackColor AddHandler b.MouseEnter, AddressOf ButtonMouseOver AddHandler b.MouseLeave, AddressOf ButtonMouseOut </code></pre> <p>Here are the mouse out/over functions as a reference to what is going on:</p> <pre><code>Public Shared Sub ButtonMouseOver(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim b As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button) Dim fa As FlatButtonAppearance = b.FlatAppearance fa.BorderSize = 1 End Sub Public Shared Sub ButtonMouseOut(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim b As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button) Dim fa As FlatButtonAppearance = b.FlatAppearance fa.BorderSize = 0 End Sub </code></pre> <p>The code removes the border from the flat Button control except on MouseOver, where I add a 1 pixel border. On MouseLeave, I remove the border. This is to show some visual feedback. This works fine when the button does not have the focus. However, if I click on the button, giving the button focus, mousing out and over again now shows a greater than 1 pixel border around the button. I'm imagining it's combining my button's explicit 1 pixel border with the traditional "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border around the Button.</p> <p>How can I disable/remove the "Winform Button has the focus, so add a border" border? Or, should I just do a check in ButtonMouseOver to check if the control has the focus, being a condition of adding the border, and just be done with it? I'd prefer to remove the automatic border from focus for whatever reason :)</p>
