FWIW, you may be better off just using a textbox control and making it ReadOnly. The user will still be able to click in the box and move all the way to the end to see the value. You can also set the ToolTip property of the control to its value.

>There is a font property on the forms textbox control but it is an object and I cannot see out to select a font. The box that pops up displays no fonts to choose from (don't know why).

>Also, I set it to disabled so that the user cannot edit the contents (it is for diaplaying only) and when the user clicks in it it changes the mouse pointer to the edit pointer but does not allow the user to click in the control (as it should be disabled this is correct) but then it takes a LONG time to switch back the pointer so that the user cannot click on anything else on the form.
