Hi,

I would like to hide cursor, but dont wont to have a 'grayed' text box by
using read-only property.

Or if windows would stop selecting text automatically after a calling focus
method from antoher textbox that has a text selection.

Jared,

You can hide the caret by setting the style to read-only. You don't like the
grey background? Why don't you go ahead and change the backfround color for
the this read-only text box? Use whatever color you like.
Keep in mind though that even read-only and without caret the text is still
selectable because one may not be able to change the text, but one can still
copy the text in the clipboard.
