Question

I’m using a CRichEditCtrl to display and interact with rich text, but want it to not show a caret at all.

I could possibly intercept every message and use HideCaret() to always hide the caret, but this seems like a hack at best, and am hoping there is a general solution that gets rid of the caret entirely.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The appropriate way to do this is to create a subclass of CRichEditCtrl that overrides OnSetFocus to call HideCaret().
