Virtual keyboard in my form. Preventing button focus

1
votes

I'm trying to create a virtual NumPad in my form. When the user clicks any of the numpad buttons, the corresponding number should be sent to the currently focused TextBox (or any other text control).

Simulating keystrokes aside, how can I prevent the numpad button, which is inside a numpad control, from stealing focus from the already focused TextBox?

I've tried googling and searching SO but didn't find anything that helped me.
