another thing you could do…
In the GETFOCUS event of the TA… move the focus to another control

Dave,

Tried that earlier. Didn’t help … but now that I’ve made other changes, I’ll try again.

Dave,

That did it! Thanks. I can’t remember what all I did last night but everything’s kosher now. Here’s what I did, in sum, for anyone reading this two years from now and having the same problem:

Problem: Can’t prevent getting active cursor and text selection in textarea of 2nd screen:

Cure:

  1. Return true in mouse-down event of textarea
  2. Set textarea to ‘Read only’
  3. Didn’t allow ‘Use focus ring’ or scrollbars
  4. Changed focus back to main screen from ‘Gotfocus’ of textarea.

Thanks again for the help.
