Prevent label from getting focus

CSharp/C# >> Prevent label from getting focus

I have a label control on a form and when I click on it, it "receives"
that message. I need the Panel that contains the Label to receive the
message instead (for drag and drop reasons). If I set the label's
Enabled=false property, it works as expected, however the text grays
out. Is there any way to do this without disabiling the label?

This is for .NET 1.1 by the way.

Thanks in advance!

4. Preventing textBox from getting focus ?

Does anyone have an idea on how to prevent a textbox from getting focus i.e.
the same function as "textBox.enabled = false" but without making the text
written in gray ?

This code works:
private void textBox1_GotFocus(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Parent.Focus(); // the form got the focus instead
}
but I would prefer to make a new control - let's call it an indicator, that
implements the above functionality.

Thanks!

Dear all,

How to prevent a datagrid in Windows form getting focus?  Even user click on
