Text fields will also work quite well. You can set the field as
non-editable in the resource. If the strings you wish to display are stored
as resources (this is better for internationalization than having them
embedded in the code), you will access them as handles anyway (DmGetResource
returns a handle). Then FldSetTextHandle followed by FldDrawField will
display your text quite nicely. The only tricky point is to make sure to
call FldSetTextHandle with a NULL handle prior to the form's destruction (on
form close is handy), else the field's event handler will free the handle it
has.
