that text box with the flashing cursor

I need an object to throw text up on the screen. I want it for output only. The text box works okay except for the blinking cursor. Is there a way to turn off the input ability of the text box or do I need to work with a different object.


thanks,

You mean like lock the textbox and don't the user allow to put the cursor inside (make it read only)?? If yes then check out this tip http://www.vb-world.net/controls/tip39.html

You could also use Label (I would recommend it if I understand your question correctly)

HTH

I might not have made myself clear, but that is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thanks.

p.s. the text boxes, command buttons, etc. collectively are know as objects, right?

I think they are more correctly referred to as "controls" - but if you refer to them as "objects" people should still understand you.
