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. Malte.
