How to disable cursor in textbox?

Question

Is there any way to disable cursor in textbox without setting property Enable to false? I was trying to use ReadOnly property but despite the fact that I can\'t write in tex

This is not strictly an answer to the question, but perhaps it can solve some similar problem(s). I use a textbox control which can look like a label for a control which displays a scale, but can be edited, when clicked. Start enabled = false and make an activation (enabled = true) in a mousehandler of the parent of the textbox control (which, when disabled, border None and backcolor = parent backcolor, looks like a label). E.g. when enter hit or other event, disable again in KeyDown handler. (Of course the parent mouse click routine can check whether the mouseclick really occured in the label/textbox control). If you need the textbox control to activate by tabbing, some more work is required (than I have done). I use the form constructor to find the textbox parent at runtime and to apply the delegate mouse control. Perhaps you can do this as wel in compile time (Form header), but that seemed a little error-prone to me.
