RichTextBox question

Hi Folks!

I just begin playing with the RichTextBox, mhh... certainly a vast topic.
Anyway I want to prevent the text of being edited.

There is no Editable property. I try set the Enabled property but then the
text don't even scrol (not too mention I want to use URL).

How do I do that?

Apparently if I select everything and set SelectionProtected to true it
almost work, however ther are a few problem:
- the user could still write at the end, anyway to get around that?
- I have to select everything, it has the nasty side effect to scroll the
RichTextBox..... as a general rule if I want to modify some text attribute I
have to select it, which scroll the RichTextBox, kind of annoying.. anyway
to get around that?

Take a look at the control's 'ReadOnly' property.

How did I miss this one?! Perfect!

Anyway there is still the problem of selecting area of text (to set the
style) without scrolling the view....
