If you mean receiving focus by clicking on it then yes, you need to call 
SetFocus in MouseDown. It's also a good idea to check the csNoFocus flag 
(from ControlStyle property).

For an example look how it is done in TCustomDBGrid.MouseDown.

+ The control can always get focused by the Tab key, if TabStop=True.
