Making a button's action mouse click only

In VB, I can make a button only react to a "Mouse Down" event where the user has to use a mouse click to activate a button on a form. Does AutoIT have a similar function where I can make a button work only if it's clicked on by the mouse rather than by the enter key on the keyboard?

Melba23 shows us an excellent example What it does is remove the tab stop from button 2 so the only way to click it is via the mouse. I modified his original code to better show the results. The relevant line for removing the Tab Stop begins with _WinAPI_SetWindowLong

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Local $Button1, $button2, $Button3
$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("One", 10, 10, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Two", 10, 30, 50, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Three", 10, 50, 50, 20)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("One", 10, 100, 80, 30)

$button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Two", 10, 140, 80, 30)
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $GWL_STYLE, BitAND(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $GWL_STYLE), BitNOT($WS_TABSTOP)))

$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Three", 10, 180, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case 3 to 8
            $sText = ControlGetText($hGUI, '', $msg)
            MsgBox(64, 'Button Hit', 'You clicked ' & $sText & @LF & ' CtrlID = ' & $msg, 5)
    EndSwitch

WEnd

EDIT: Make sure you don't have a Key combo assinged to it (with an Ampersand) like

GUICtrlCreateButton("B&utton 1", 30, 20, 120, 40)
