Make TextBox uneditable
.net, c#, textbox, winforms
Solution
Using the `TextBox.ReadOnly` property
TextBox.ReadOnly = true;
For a Non-Grey background you can change the `TextBox.BackColor` property to `SystemColors.Window` Color
textBox.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window;
When this property is set to true, the contents of the control cannot be changed by the user at runtime. With this property set to true, you can still set the value of the Text property in code. You can use this feature instead of disabling the control with the Enabled property to allow the contents to be copied and ToolTips to be shown.
Problem
I want to make some `TextBox`es on my form uneditable, but I want the `text` to be clear (black not gray) and that's why I do not want to use `myTextBox.Enabled = false;` Somehow I want it to be disabled but with non-gray fore-color. Does anyone have any clue?
