1. Ready Only MLE

Another Q...
I know how to make the MLE read_only, and non-TABable, but but the
MLE can still be selected with the mouse. Focus is then given to the
MLE, and it displays the caret position. I don't want the MLE to be able
to receive focus at all.
I've tried trapping onGotFocus, and setting the focus to the default
ctrl, but it doesn't work. In fact, as a result of setting the focus to
the default ctrl, I'm not able to select that control anymore.
I've also tried trapping the onMouse event, and Left button events
aren't reported to the handler. And even so, I'm still not able to set
the focus to the other ctrl.
TIA
Chris

I wish I was up to speed on Win32lib in this catagory.
Have you tried EnableWindow?

Wouldn't a LText control be better here or did you want the user
to still be able to copy text from it?
