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

Set Read Only to True.

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