Sometimes I use the GotFocus event of the object I don't want to get 
focused ("public sub ManipulatedControl_GotFocus"). In this event I set 
the focus to another control (othercontrol.Setocus). For very simple 
situations it does smoothly.

This method is indeed a hack: if you click this "manipulated" control, 
it won't get focus; if you tab-travel forward and back, one of the two 
directions won't work; so you have to use global variables to keep trace 
of the current status, if you want more complete control over the focus.
