Sets or gets the value that indicates whether the object visibly shows that it has focus.

Syntax

Property values

Type: Boolean

VARIANT_TRUE (true)

Focus is not visibly indicated.

VARIANT_FALSE (false)

Default. Focus is visibly indicated.

Remarks

The focus of an object is visibly indicated by a focus rectangle—a dotted rectangle within the boundaries of the object.

This property does not control the ability of an object to receive focus; for that, use the tabIndex property.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the HIDEFOCUS attribute to prevent a focus rectangle from appearing on a button.
