Hello community!
We are using a Timer that sets the TextControl.EditMode to ReadAndSelect given certain criterias.
Problem: The cursor stops blinking in areas that still should have EditMode.Edit.
I included an example project:
In the project only the first 100 chars can be edited. Rest is ReadAndSelect-Only. Timer set to 99ms is used to check this.
If you comment the TextControlSetEditMode() method the cursor keeps blinking.

You would be amazed (or maybe not :)) how fierce customers can get if you take away the blinking cursor!
Greetings and hoping for help,
Deniz
P.S.: Great new Forum-Feature that we users can attach files now!!!
