Could you use something like
with richtext1
If .SelLength <> 0 then
.selstart = .selstart + .sellength
.sellength = 0
end if
in the click event?

this will make it so there isnt even a blinking cursor ...

make a second text box.... a normal one.. off to the side where no one can see it... then in the RTB click put

text1.setfocus


this will stop the RTB from even getting focus in the begining man created code.
in the end code will create man.
clones are coming only matter of time.
examples?
