[winapi] Three questions about editbox ?

Hello! I have three questions about editbox control in WINAPI (i can't find information on msdn about this) 1. How to disable moving typeing cursor with mouse, arrows, backspace in editbox ? I want to make typing like in command line in dos, but with out backspace.

Can I write some piece of text with red color, and another with blue ?
How to write to editbox control from another thread ?

Make it read-only (ES_READONLY) & manually intercept keystrokes and append only those you want to.
No, you would need to use a RICHEDIT class for that and use RTF. (You could owner draw a normal EDIT window but that would not be much fun)
SendMessage with WM_SETTEXT (Or EM_SETTEXTEX / EM_REPLACESEL if you use a RICHEDIT)

Why not use a Console?

It must be in window :/To answer 1. - Are there any other option instead of ES_READONLY and intercept keystrokes ? I asking beacouse in my language there is a lot of combinations on keyboard to make variuos characters.

You could discard mouse messages, WM_LBUTTONDOWN et al.
