    Prevent cursor in textbox...

    So, anyone know a good way to do this? I don't want to ever see the cursor in my textbox, which I'm using as a label, because it has a .hWnd property and labels don't.

    And no, setting

    .Locked = False
    or
    .Enabled = False

    won't work.

    Cheers,
    RJ

    If you don't mind subclassing.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    The HideCarrot thing might do me. Does it work alright?

    Everytime I've tried, it doesn't seem to work.

    Hey crptc - I believe I have solved the HideCaret conundrum. Well, it works for me anyway. I believe any (or at least some) changes to the properties of the textbox must internally invoke a ShowCaret call. If I put HideCaret after every event which changes the textbox, such things as forecolor for example, it works.

    Oh well, I guess trying does have its advantages...

    Effort is over-rated.
