Hello.

I have a textbox and I dont want the user to be allowed to click in, or to
be allowed to select some text inside. In fact I whish he had no control on
it.

How can I do ?

Thank you.

Use a Label...

Don is right, you know. You should use a Label instead - but if you maybe
just want to temporarily lock the user out of the TextBox (and need it to be
used normally at other times) then have a look at the "locked property".
This will prevent the user entering or pasting stuff into it:

Text1.Locked = True

If you want to, you can also prevent the text cursor from appearing when the
user clicks the TextBox. Just set the focus to an unused control which is
positioned off the Form (use negative left or top values) so that it cannot
be seen. The unused control can be any control which is capable of getting
focus:

Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
Picture1.SetFocus
End Sub

or why not just disable it?
text1.enable = false

I have created a lot of detail editing forms, and usually
use a combination of labels and textboxes.  The fastest
method (I find) is to use two frames, one containg the
detail labels (frmLabels), one with the textboxes
(frmTextboxes).

In edit mode, frmTextboxes is populated with the caption
properties from frmLabels, then made visible, while
frmLabels is made invisible.

When editing is complete, I reverse the process (and update
any databases if applicable).

you can us "locked"

text1.locked = true

the only thing you can do with this one is that you can copy it

but I would disable it

text1.enabled = false
