but i want to make, we can't make a selection to the text.

and then make the cursor hide in the text box...but not in the form.

Well this is a dodgy example which will answer that question (until someone posts a nicer method of not allowing a textbox selection to be performed):

Private Sub TextBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseMove
    Cursor = Cursors.No
    Me.TextBox1.SelectionStart = 0
    Me.TextBox1.SelectionLength = 1
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseLeave
    Cursor = Cursors.Default
End Sub

[Deepak Sakpal]

TextBox1.Enabled = False

Why not simply use a label with a white background?

[dminder]

    Private Sub TextBox1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseEnter
        Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide()
    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseLeave
        Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show()
    End Sub

Pure. Sweet. Simple. Just the way I like it.
