Any way to get a disabled control to scroll ???

I have various controls in which I display data (text boxes, listboxes) that the user cannot change, however I want the user to be able to scroll the contents.
I have played with combinations of enabled and locked properties but cannot get it to work

I also need the controls color to indicate they are protected and I cannot see how to do this correctly for whatever scheme the user may be using.
 
Enabled = Yes
Locked = Yes

as for the color, all i can suggest is to pick a color that does not make
the data difficult to read. whatever color you set, it should not be
affected by the users' color schemes.

thanks for the info! :)
in using "changeable" colors, the only thing that would worry me is that a
color changed by the underlying scheme could be hard to read and/or look
at - some color combinations are hard on the eyes if you have to look at
them for any length of time - at least to old, tired eyes like mine. <g>

the scheme changes. The positive numbered colors do not change with the
scheme and therefore should not be used.
