How to make a textbox unhighlightable?

[Hiner]

I am doing some windows form programming with C++ using VS2005.
I want to make my textbox unhighlightable, which means the text in it cannot be selected.

Does anyone know how to do so?

A text box cannot do this.

I'd suggest using a label, and then manually coding all of the functions you need it to perform.

Yes it can. Subclass the text-box & handle the notification which corresponds to the highlighting action.

set your editbox the property "disabled", and then you can both edit or select any text.
is it your aim?
