    texbox scroll question

    Hi just wondering if there is a way to disable a text box but still allow
    scrolling to work? I do not want the user to be able to change the text but
    they must be able to use the scroll bars, also the disabled look is what I am
    looking for, thanks.

    found the readonly, probably just need to set it to true and set colors to
    look like it is disabled.

      You can try making it readonly, the user will be able to read it and scroll
      down within the textbox.

        Dont use Enabled=false; that visually would appear to work, but doesnt
        scroll.
