Textbox with no Cursor?

[neef]

I have a string that will be of varying lengths. I want to display this string in a textbox so scroll bars will appear if the string is larger than the size of the text box. This info is read only - I don't want to give the user any input with it. I still see a cursor and my string highlighted even with the ReadOnly set to true.

Is there any way to disable the cursor altogether in a textbox so nothing is highlighted? Maybe I'm not using the best control for this, but I don't want to use a label.

I generate this textbox at run time, if that matters at all.

Thanks.

that's the default behaviour of a textbox. why not a label?

I'd use a label if it had a vertical scroll-bar for long text lengths. It's the fact that I don't know exactly what the string length will be that led more to use a textbox.

try putting a label on a panel with the panel's autoscroll property set to true

That's a good idea. Thanks!
