Cursor in Read-Only MultiLineEdit?

IMHO you don't have to care about if to show a cursor in
"your" dialogs.

Bill is right that such a cursor is helpful, and for that
reasons we
have the accessibility options for documents to show a
cursor in
read-only mode.

But this is only for documents (right now)...

So this is a general thing to solve in VCL.
It's a GUI Toolkit feature, nothing an application developer
should care
about.
