Is there a way to have a richtextbox display the highlight when it loses focus?

Question

I have a richtextbox, when I leave it for example to go to another panel where I want to manipulate the selected text I can no longer see the selected text. Is there a way to make it still show the highlight?

Set the RichTextBox's HideSelection property to false.

Not actually a good idea, the user can no longer reliably tell that the RTB has the focus. But good enough for the OP probably. – Hans Passant Mar 18 '11 at 23:09
Perfect thanks, I've been looking for hours and I missed that. – dwidel Mar 19 '11 at 01:14
