    I'm afarid you're going to have to provide a clearer explanation of what you want to do and what the problem is? "pass generator"? Do you mean a password generator? What information do you want to view and what exactly is your issue in viewing it? I really don't know what those last two sentences mean.

    Okay, first of all, which menu bar?
    Are you talking about Windows or something within your application?

    And which file tab?

    And what kind of un-editable window? Do you want it to be locked, so the user can't click anything on it? Or do you want to have a textbox on the window with text that the user can't edit?

    I think (and this is just a thought) that he wants a MenuStrip in his program.

    Do you need a form with a read-only textbox in it?

    just use Textbox1.Readonly = True

    Place it on a form and show. To be honest, I didn't understand much of what you'd written here.

    If it is a language problem try posing some picture of what do you want.

    You keep contradicting yourself. First you say that you want to be able to edit the data, then you say that you do, then you say that you don't again. It's very confusing. As cicatrix says, if you want data in a TextBox that the user can't edit. Set its ReadOnly property to True. You can also just use a Label instead of a TextBox. The difference would be that the user can copy the text and scroll in a ReadOnly TextBox where they can't in a Label.
