ok, I've scoured VS help, the Internet, books... I really hate the idea that
I might have to end up creating an updown control from scratch just because
I can't figure out how to turn off the %$@# text cursor...
Is it possible to turn that damn blinking cursor off? I've tried everything
I can think of...

Are you talking about a _cursor_ (mouse pointer)
*or*
the _carat_ (text insertion point)???
Your post isn't clear as to what you are really referring to.
Yeah, you must be talking about the caret. The NumericUpDown is a composite
control made up of some smaller controls (actually it paints itself, and is
really only
made up of the one text-box, plus the custom drawing of the up-down arrows). The
act of turning off the caret would be equivalent to turning off the TextBox
control's
caret.
I use the thing all the time, and I don't even notice the caret. You must be
heavily
against the blinking ;-) To answer shortly though, there is no way to turn the
caret
off within managed code. There is probably a decent Win32 API, but then getting
the TextBox is going to be an issue.

ty Justin. For me the blinking is akin to water dripping in a leaky
faucet... It's making me crazy... :D

Sorry, my bad. I assumed that calling it a text cursor as opposed to a mouse
cursor would be clear...
Anyway, I'm referring to the _carat_...

Have you looked at the ReadOnly property? If you set it to true, the
value can be changed only with the up/down buttons, not by typing text
in the control. Not sure if the text cursor goes away, though...

Yes, I tried ReadOnly. The cursor doesn't go away. But, thanks for the
suggestion...
