How to make text in WinForms TextBox unselected without disabling it?

Is it possible to make the text in the TextBox unselected without disabling the TextBox? It is a RichTextBox and I need its formatting and selection functions. I cannot turn it off because I want to handle the MouseMove and MouseDown events.

So far I've been thinking about disabling the Text field and putting a panel on top of it that delegates its events to the text field handlers, but I can't make the panel transparent so that it hides the text field.

Thank.

I'm not really sure what you are getting (needs something unselectable, but its select function needs it), but does it set to ReadOnly

true what you are looking for?
