Remarks

For more information on this feature, see the WM_CHANGEUISTATE, WM_QUERYUISTATE, and WM_UPDATEUISTATE topics located in the Windows Platform SDK in the MSDN Library.

Notes to Inheritors:  When overriding the ShowFocusCues property in a derived class, use the base class's ShowFocusCues property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation.
