Make TextBox uneditable in Winforms/WPF

Make TextBox uneditable in Winforms/WPF

To make a TextBox uneditable in WinForms or WPF, you can set its ReadOnly property to true. This will prevent the user from editing the text in the TextBox.

Here's an example of how to make a TextBox uneditable in WinForms:

textBox1.ReadOnly = true;

In this example, we're setting the ReadOnly property of textBox1 to true.

And here's an example of how to make a TextBox uneditable in WPF:

<TextBox IsReadOnly="True" />

In this example, we're setting the IsReadOnly property of the TextBox to True.

In both cases, the TextBox will appear as normal, but the user will not be able to edit its contents.

If you want to prevent the user from selecting or highlighting the text in the TextBox, you can also set its Enabled property to false. However, this will also disable the TextBox and make it appear grayed out.
