Help with setfocus

[lution]

I've added a text box to my splashscreen called txtStatusInfo. I would like to use it to tell the user what I'm doing (checking for valid license, database updates, backups, etc). I also don't want the user to be able to put anything into the text box so I set the Enabled = No and Locked = No on the control. However, when I do that I can't set the focus to the control or change the text in it.

Should I just break down and use a label control instead or does anyone have another suggestion?

Set Enabled = NO and Locked = YES. You do not need to set focus to the control to write to it. Just use the .Value property rather than the .Text property. You can change the value in the control in code as often as you want.
