Why not let them gain the focus, just keep it readonly. Also, make sure its rightclick menu isn't disabled (there's a property for that, and I think its name is so counterintuitive I can't remember it :).

The other way around would be to use some of the _ed* functions (in foxtools.fll) or clipboard API, where you could put .textRTF into the clipboard and tell the system it's in RTF format (let's say, do that when there's text there and your app is losing focus, or something like that - some event catching may be needed).
