You could use a multi-line edit box through your xml dialog. You can set the number of characters allowed, read-only, etc.

But I have one question. The documentation for the app, currently is available in a text file. I wanted to have a button in my dialog, that would open a ReadOnly edit box - or something like that - and then load the documentation ito that box. Well, that was the idea. Is there any better approach? I do not know, how to create a standard Windows Help file or the like. So, I simply wrote the documentation in Notepad. But, of course, the user should not be able to edit the docs, so I can't simply load it into Notepad for him either. Smile. The documentation is something like 300 lines long, so the user will need to scroll up and down the screen. Don't know, if the edit boxes that WE provides, can hold that much. So, if anyone have experience here, and/or any good suggestions to the best approach, I am all ears. My idea was, since the documentation would be made available in more than one language, to save each language in its own file, and via my XML file - with a simple string - to direct the app to the currently locale documentation file. That part is not a problem, it works already. But my problem is how to get the contents of the file, displayed on the screen in the best way. Thanks for any assistance.
