How to set UICues in a WinForms user control

Question

I would like my user control to show a focus rectangle, but ShowFocusCues is read-only. So far, from reading the docs, I understand that this will involve setting UICues with a bitwise enumeration, but how and where do you tell the control to show a focus rectangle?

The UC repeats in a table layout and I'd like to clearly identify which repeating group has been entered (i.e. one of its controls has focus).

I've since found the answer.

In the Enter and Leave events of the user control, BorderStyle can be set.
