Can't have child controls capable of receiving focus on a UserControl whose
CanGetFocus property is False.
RESOLUTION

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. In Microsoft Visual Basic, create a new ActiveX Control project.
2. Add a Textbox to the form.
3. Click on the background of the UserControl to select it, and then change the
CanGetFocus property from True to False. The following message will be
displayed:
Can't have child controls capable of receiving focus on a UserControl whose
CanGetFocus property is False.
NOTE: If you try step 3 prior to step 2, all controls in the ToolBox capable
of receiving focus will be disabled so you will be unable to add the textbox.
