the blinking cursor

Hi, Is there any way to hide the blinking cursor? Thanks! Mel

Cursor.Hide() (See this[^]) If you are wnating to do this inside a textbox say (or any control), you can set its Cursor property in Winforms to "None". Koushik Biswas -- modified at 18:38 Friday 13th January, 2006

Ummmm...no, that hides the mouse pointer, not the blinking insertion point, what he called the "cursor". RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

IIRC, no there isn't. The insertion point can't be hidden on a control that can receive keystrokes. I could be wrong though... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

[DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern bool HideCaret(IntPtr hWnd); Hides the caret temporarily. Remember to include: using System.Runtime.InteropServices; Example: HideCaret(richTextBox1.Handle); Hope this helps

Ahhh! I thought there might be something I was forgetting! RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
