I have a grid, which is populated by several rows from a table. I want the first two colums (which make up the key) to be displayed, but not be selectable. In otherwords, I want column 3 to be the first column , and have the first two be "garnish" of sorts. Tab needs to skip them, arrowkeys need to skip them, clicking on them should do nothing.

I have solved it by making the text1.gotfocus() method be:

THIS.Parent.Parent.column3.SetFocus()

Which is great, EXCEPT, Shift-tab in col3 fails, left arrow in col3 fails, and most importantly - I can no longer trap Right-clicks on the first two columns (which is important). Is there any way to make teh two colums NOT be selectable, yet still trigger RightClick() events?

just making them RO is not enuff..it is a pain for (l)users to have to tab past them.
