I need to display a variable-length message and allow the text to be selectable.

I need to display a variable-length message and allow the text to be selectable. I have made the TextBox ReadOnly which does not allow the text to be edited, but the input caret is still shown.

The blinking input caret is confusing. How do I hide it?

    You can do through a win32 call

    [DllImport('user32.dll')] static extern bool HideCaret(IntPtr hWnd); public void HideCaret() {     HideCaret(someTextBox.Handle); }
