Hello folks,

As some of you are aware of, I am fairly new to VB.NET. I am trying to learn as much as I can.

I have a textbox which is set to multiline. It's setup to accept a maximum of 500 characters (10 lines of 50).

First of all, since it's size is fixed, how can I remove the right bar on the left as im not using it (the scrolling bar).

#2, once a user click on a button, I disable the textbox and display the text. I can set the background color, however it looks like when the textbox is disabled, text is gray and can't be changed.

A fix I found is to use a label and hide the textbox, but are there any easier way ?

Thanks
