Text Box no Editing 1

[briprogram]

Have a text box which is auto populated at runtime with information.
Would like it so that no one can place a cursor inside the text box and change the information. Viewable but not editable. What ways in properties or code can this be done.

Thanks

Either set ReadOnly to True or Enabled to False, or both. See what works for you.

you can also place a RETURN .F. statement in the when event of the textbox

It should be ReadOnly. The color selected will give a visual clue to the user that it can't be edited.

Disabled implies that it can be enabled

RETURN .F. in the When will not give the clue...only frustrate the user because visually, the text can be edited.

Sounds like what you want is a label rather than textbox? Or does the label not have the look you want? I know labels are real plain.
