Remove the Caret in a textebox

[Marc Robitaille]

Hello group,

I need to remove the caret from the texbox. I tried with the HideCaret API
and it doesn't work. Is there a way to hide it? if yes, Is it possible to
show me how? Or if you have a link that show how to do it.

Thank you all

HideCaret should do it. Could you post the code?

Public Class clsCustomTB

Inherits TextBox

Declare Function HideCaret Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer) As
Integer

Public Sub New()

MyBase.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None

HideCaret(MyBase.Handle.ToInt32)

End Sub

'HideCaret' should work if you are using the right declares:

\\\
Public Declare Auto Function HideCaret Lib "user32.dll" ( _
ByVal hwnd As IntPtr _
) As Boolean
///

Declare Function HideCaret Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Integer) As

...

Public Sub New()

MyBase.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None

HideCaret(MyBase.Handle.ToInt32)

At this time the control is not yet created. Add a handler to the control's
'HandleCreated' event and try hiding the caret there.

It didn't work in the 'HandleCreated' event but I try in the MouseDown,
MouseMove and the MouseUp events and it work great. I put it there because
I create my textbox at runtime on a panel. I create a textbox with the use
of drag & drop. When I move my textbox on the panel, the caret show up.
So, in the mouse events, everyting is fin
