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() ?

Regards

Gernot
