(newbie -VB 2005 EE) TextBox question

Hello, so far everything goes well in learning VB, at my age :-)
But I have a problem ...

My program uses a TextBox, readonly, just to display text. Something
that bothers me is that there is always a blinking cursor and many times
the text gets selected too ... I don't need both of them.
How can I avoid that?

As far as I can find out, there are no options to set for this.

Thanks

Vito

Have you tried just using a label to display results? You can change
the borderstyle to make it look similar to a textbox (but it's not
perfect).

Thanks,

Seth Rowe

Seth, thanks for the tip, it works great for me. There's no difference
with a TextBox as far as I can see, so this is a good solution. I only
had to find/replace a few lines of code.
