Make a textbox not blink?

Question

I am trying to get a control i can click on, press any keys (except tab) and have it take in the input. I tried using this and had a problem with the arrow keys changing the focus. That question is here.

The textbox seems to work but i dont like how it blinks. As in the line that shows where you next letter will be placed. How do i fix this?

Answer 1

Can you change the color of the blinking cursor to white?

Answer 2

Blinking is a system wide option. Check this out.

Answer 3

If you create a UserControl based on the standard textbox you can use [Control::IsInputKey][1] to override default behaviour which causes the control to lose focus.
