Disabling/Removing caret from chat window

Question

I have setup richedit control as a chat window and I've no idea how to remove the blinking caret from the control, does anyone know how to do that in edit/richedit control?

Answer 1

Based on this page, you need to handle the EN_SETFOCUS Windows message and call HideCaret(). The docs there say that calls to HideCaret() are cumulative, so you probably should only call it once (use a static variable to remember whether it has been set), or alternatively call ShowCaret() in response to EN_KILLFOCUS.

Answer 2

Use HideCaret().
