RTF: how hide the selection of .seltext?

[Robertge]

Hi,

using a RTF box, I want to work on a single row (current) every time that I press the key-down/key-up arrows of the keyboard.

In one sub I compute the current column and the line lenght of the line where the cursor is positioned (using sendmessage api)

When keyup or keydown is pressed I use this code inside KeyDown event

with FormMDI
.ActiveForm.rtfbox1.SelStart = .ActiveForm.rtfbox1.SelStart - WCurrentColumn
.ActiveForm.rtfbox1.SelLength = WLenLine
str_1 = .ActiveForm.rtfbox1.SelText
end with

My little problem is that on the RTF appears and desappears the selection on the line everytime I press the key up/down.

I tried with HideCaret/showCaret Api, but is the same.

Someone can sujest me a solution to hide this "stupid" selection? I'm using VB 5.0

Thanks

ok, I found by myself

'Lock the window update for flickering using API
LockWindowUpdate form.hwnd

....


'Unlock windowupdate for flickering using API
LockWindowUpdate False

Bye
