prevent editing textboxes

hi all
does anybody knows how can i prevent editing text box with the original (black & white) colors of the textbox. if i set the textbox to disable = true then its become unreadeble gray backround and text!???//
thnks for all the replyers

ummm , I've another solution .
in the keypress event paste this code :

VB Code:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress
 
e.Handled = True
End Sub

This prevent editing your text . It does the job anyways !

Sorry Lethal , that would prevent moving the textbox in design time .:D

Set Read Only to True.

Read-Only is what I meant. I was thinking VB 6
