  Dear All,

  I am putting a textbox or masked textbox in a program.  Yet, I don't wanna the content of the box to be selected by a mouse doubleclick or something.   And I don't want the cursor shown in the box. How can I do that?  Many thanks in advance.

  Set the "ShortcutsEnabled" property to "False" so that the TextBox doesnot allow the contents to be copied.

  Set the tabStop property to False.
