Set the all column textbox.BackColor to the color you want to see. You can do the same to the textbox.SelectedBackColor

>2. I want the mouse pointer to look like an arrow all the time. I've tired the mousepointer properties but the mouse pointer still looks like "I want to insert characters".

Make a search, here were several threads about this.

If there is an object on the form which can receive the focus it will get the focus. But you may set focus to say, the dummy textbox which is not visible (I do not mean .Visible = .f. - it may be just outside the visible part of the form. If it is a pageframe you may set focus to the page itself.
