How do I change the properties of a text box so the user cannot input text?

[TheBigHam]

Hi All,

I am using C# visual express edition to code a windows form application. I have a text box, the user enters a string then presses a button on the form. I then want the text box to become inactive so the user cannot click on the text box and edit the information?

What is the code to change the text box to make it inactive? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.......

use the ReadOnly or Enabled property


textBox1.ReadOnly = true;

//or use this
textBox1.Enabled = false;
