I have encountered a small problem in my cdev. I want to turn an
EditText box into a StatText box on the fly as part of my initDev
routine; under certain conditions, I want one of my text boxes not
to be editable. So I do the following (in C):

  GetDItem(CPDialog, ITEM_NUMBER + numItems, &tempType, &tempHandle, &tempRect);
  SetDItem(CPDialog, ITEM_NUMBER + numItems, statText, tempHandle, &tempRect);

Well, that works fine, except for the fact that I still have the cute
little insertion point flashing in my now apparently static text field.
How do I get rid of it?
