Dear GEM wizards, just recently I designed a dialog box with formatted box-texts in them. Those text boxes are not editable - I use them for output only. When the data is displayed I want the user to press one of the buttons on the box. So I call form_dial(tree, 0). This is when something strange happens. Although I called form_dial with '0' as a second argument (no start item) a text cursor also appears in one of the text boxes. It reacts to the cursor keys, ESC, DEL and BS. Fortunately the missing EDITABLE flag prohibits any real changes by the user, but still the cursor is annoying. Does anyone know how to get rid of this text cursor? Do I have to program my own form_dial() ?
