What I do is put the information into a label. Then the user can't
change it and you have full control over the font colour etc. Drop it
onto a panel if you want to give it a border - and you can change the
border style to whatever you want. You can make it look just like a
TEdit.

Subject: Protecting Tedit Field.
Hi all,
I've got a Tedit field that I want to use to display status information
(with a coloured font) but I don't want a user to be able to actually
click
on it and change it. I can set enabled to FALSE but then windows greys
out
the text and makes it hard to read. I set the readonly field and I can
still click on it and change the text.
How can I make it so I get coloured text but that it behaves like
enabled is
set to false?
Thanks.
John Dammeyer
