Hello,
So I would like to disable a textbox on a vb.net form
without the text getting grayed out. In vb6 I could place
a textbox control on a frame control and disable the frame
leaving the textbox enabled and text/background were
intact but mouse cursor remained an arraw (as opposed to
an I for editable). I tried a Panel control on my .net
form since I could I guess there is no longer a frame
control (also tried a groupbox control). I disable these
container controls, but in the panel the textbox got
grayed out. With groupbox, the textbox was still
editable. Any suggestions appreciated how to disable
textbox without graying it out.
Thanks,
Rich

I just had a thought. A lable with a 3d border kinda
looks like a textbox. Is this the way .net does it now?
Just checking. -----Original Message-----

In VB 6.0, all you needed to do what changed the locked property to true
(not the enabled property, which caused the text to gray out).
In .NET, you just change the ReadOnly property to true.

Hi Rich!
After you set the 'enabled' property of the textbox to false
you can change the backcolor to web->white. You can always use a simple
label with white backcolor & Fixed3D BorderStyle.

Set the textbox's 'ReadOnly' property to 'True' and reset the backcolor.

Thank you all for your replies. I did check out the lable
with 3d border. That kinda looks like a textbox.
My goal is to disable the textbox control such that when
you pass your mouse over the control the pointer does not
change from an arrow to an I. Readonly still lets the
mousepointer change to an I. The closest thing I have
found so far is to use a rich textbox disabled with a
label inside. The only hassel here is setting the size of
the rich textbox and label to make it look like a regular
textbox. -----Original Message-----

Use this in conjunction with setting the ReadOnly property to true:
attributes.add( "style","cursor :normal")

Setting a TextBox to disabled grays out the text color, not the background
color. Attempts to change the text color back to black are ignored.
See my other post for the textbox solution.

Why would the backcolor need to be reset? Setting to ReadOnly to true does
not change any of the colors.

It changes the backcolor to control color on .NET 1.1, Windows XP
Professional, so I have to reset it.
