[c#] Make TextBox uneditable

I want to make some TextBoxes on my form uneditable, but I want the text to be clear (black not gray) and that's why I do not want to use

myTextBox.Enabled = false;

Somehow I want it to be disabled but with non-gray fore-color.

Does anyone have any clue?

If you want to do it using XAML set the property isReadOnly to true.

If you want your TextBox uneditable you should make it ReadOnly.

Enabled="false" in aspx page

Use the ReadOnly property on the TextBox.

myTextBox.ReadOnly = true;

But Remember: TextBoxBase.ReadOnly Property

When this property is set to true, the contents of the control cannot be changed by the user at runtime. With this property set to true, you can still set the value of the Text property in code. You can use this feature instead of disabling the control with the Enabled property to allow the contents to be copied and ToolTips to be shown.

Just set in XAML:

        <TextBox IsReadOnly="True" Style="{x:Null}" />

So that text will not be grayed-out.

You can try using:

textBox.ReadOnly = true;
textBox.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window;

The last line is only neccessary if you want a non-grey background color.

This is for GridView.

 grid.Rows[0].Cells[1].ReadOnly = true;
