In C# winforms, is there a way to not show the dashed focus outline border that shows around a trackbar control when it is being used?
Details: This outline looks kinda tacky to me, so I'm just shooting for aesthetics to not show it.
Thanks,

ShowFocusCues didn't work for me, but this did:
internal class NoFocusTrackBar : System.Windows.Forms.TrackBar
{
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
public extern static int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint msg, int wParam, int lParam);
private static int MakeParam(int loWord, int hiWord)
{
return (hiWord << 16) | (loWord & 0xffff);
}
protected override void OnGotFocus(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnGotFocus(e);
SendMessage(this.Handle, 0x0128, MakeParam(1, 0x1), 0);
}
}
See documentation on WM_UPDATEUISTATE for how this works (basically sending a message to turn the dumb thing off the trackbar gets the focus).
I know it's an old question but this is simpler if anyone interested:
public class TrackBarWithoutFocus : TrackBar
{
private const int WM_SETFOCUS = 0x0007;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_SETFOCUS)
{
return;
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
}
