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.

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.
