Hi All,
how does one hide the caret in Memo controls (cross platform and with no other control to lose focus)? read only looks like not enough.
i see in Delphi there is a HideCaret(<control>) function.
thank you

looks like for TKMemo caret is not visible:
a. when the control does not have focus
b. when TKMemo.SelEnd < 0, safest:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
TKMemo
.
SelEnd
:
=
-
1
;
TKMemo
.
SelStart
:
=
0
;

There are several ways to do this, this one is very easy, but don't ask me if this is a crossplatform way...
Play around with this...

thank you RAW.
it does not work on Linux MINT.
looks like only TKMemo can be used cross platform.

In KMemo check/include eoDisableCaret option in TKMemo.Options.
This will just disable the caret from appearing on screen, other functionality (writing, selections) remains the same.
