Whoops - sent before I'd given the full picture....
Set ReadOnly to True! Or....
What I also 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 one
or more such labels onto a panel if you want to have a border - and you
can change the border style to whatever you want. You can make it look
just like a TEdit. My guess is that this takes less resources as well.

Brendan.

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
