Two simple questions:

Can I make text in a Label control selectable (in an easy way)?
or
Can I make the blinking cursor in a TextBox control disappear, while
maintaining selectability?

You cannot select the label's text.

Typically, read-only textboxes are archieved by setting their 'ReadOnly'
property to 'True'. This won't hide the blinking caret when the control has
focus. Notice that the caret is visible to assist the user when selecting
text using the keyboard.

What's the reason for hiding the caret?
 
Thank you very much for answering my question(s)!

The caret indicates to the user that the text is editable, which it is not
in my case. It is only selectable.
(Similar to web pages (no caret) where the content is read-only but still
selectable)
