Hi

I wish to create a ReadOnly textbox to display
information that I do not wish the user to change, but I
still wish to retain the scrollbar functionality etc.
incase the text is larger than the displayable area.

This was a simple property in VB6 but seems to of
disappeared, progress???

Anyhow, I assume I need to extend the normal TextBox
class and overide a method or 2 to achieve this, but
which ones?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Andy

p.s. I'm using C#
 
Hi Andy,

The textBox already has a "ReadOnly" and "Multiline" property(set both to
true).
For scrolling, check the "ScrollBars" property(set it to vertical).
Additionally, the "WordWrap" property may also needs to be set.

Thanks for that, I think I was a little quick to post my
query, when I set the ReadOnly property it changed the
background colour as if it was disabled which through me
a little!

I now realise you can simply change the background colour
as required, easy peasy!

thanks for your response, very much appreciated

Regards

Andy

Set the control's 'ReadOnly' property to 'true'.
