How to hide the cursor in Fl_Multiline_Output?

[lifeatt...@gmail.com]

I have a bunch of Fl_Multiline_Output fields being used for

read-only display. Is there a way to prevent the cursor from

appearing?

Thanks,

Kevin

    If you mean the caret (^), short answer:

        output->clear_visible_focus();

    The reason that caret is shown is to allow a visible cue for
    keyboard navigation for select/copy of output text
    (e.g. shift + arrow keys, and then copy with ^C).

    Disabling visible keyboard navigation with clear_visible_focus()
    will disable all keyboard text selection for the widget
    (but mouse selection will still work).

Yup, that's what I meant. Much obliged!
