Locking a text box

[Chris Wallace]

Hi,

I like this new vb .net but something are really hard to figure out and they should not be.

I need to make my text box readonly/locked without them going gray. I want to push figures into the text boxs from code but not let the user access the controls. How do I do this???

Thanks for your help,

Chris

I think you can override the KeyPress and/or KeyDown methods for the textbox and set e.Handled=True. Something like that?

Hi.

You can still use the ReadOnly property.
True, the textbox is greyed out when you set this property, but you can change the background and foreground colors afterwards.
