Hi,

The problem is I created custom textbox ,
I want to prevent the user to change the text.

For some reason the Text.ReadOnly did not prevent the user to write text in
the TextBox,
so i create custom read only that will return immedialy from Key events.

till here everything was O.K

but then, i notice that if i select the text and then write somthing, the
text is changed, although i had the custom readonly=true.

Thanking in advance,

So, the problem is that ReadOnly isn't working, NOT THAT YOU NEED TO PREVENT
SELECTION OF TEXT! Give us the details on your environment. You haven't
told us what the target device is (Windows Mobile? Windows CE? Version?),
what version of .NET Compact Framework you are working with, etc. It might
be worthwhile to build a simple custom textbox that demonstrates the
problem, verify that it exists in that case, and post the code. Can we
presume, also, that regular Textbox controls *do* work correctly with
respect to ReadOnly for you? I can't find any situations where ReadOnly
doesn't work.

I also could not imagine why it does not work but you may try this:

private void textBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
