I have an application that uses a dialog box
with an edit control to display text read
from a file header.  The edit control is
created from a resource wherein I use
an edittext style control. Whenever the
control first displays the text, it always
shows it in reverse video.  Is there any
way to keep the reverse video from
displaying?

All I really want is to view the file header,
not edit it, so the reverse video is an
annoyance. The edit control still displays
in reverse video even when I make it a
read only style.  Maybe another control is
better for the purpose of displaying static
text?

Thanks.

Bill
