I can't really understand your question, but you might try TextBox.Enabled = False.

Handle the keypress event of your textbox. If you've turned off input, then set ea.Handled = true in the event, this rejects all keypresses. The user interface you're designing is quite user hostile. Windows shows a textbox differently if it won't work for a reason.

Ok then, if you want to do so, these are the way: - set the accepttab property of the textbox into False. - And also set the acceptreturn property into false, too - Add a code that move the focus into another control, like a cancel button when user click on the textbox. PS: You can't avoid backcolor and forecolor of the textbox changed while the control is disabled. If you don't want it, so don't disable the textbox. Experience is the best teacher
