[from_herotozero]

what you mean by gray out

[[YF] Daniel]

No, "TextBox.Enabled = False" grays it.

"TextBox.Locked = True" 'stops' it.

[FrOzeN]

Text1.Enabled = False
'Greys it out and you can't select it or anything.
---
Text1.Locked = True
'Disables a user from being albe to type/paste text into it.
---
Text1.Backcolor = #8C8C8C
'Will just change the backcolor of the TextBox to grey.
---
Text1.Forecolor = #8C8C8C
'Will just change the color of the text to grey.

Does that cover what your trying to do to the TextBox?

[TwiztidNinja]

yea thanks:-)

After what FrOzeN mentioned,

enter

 

Command1.SetFocus

 

in

 

Text1_GotFocus()

 

event to divert the focus pointer inside the textbox to some other Object/Tool like Command button.

Otherwise there will be a cursor blinking inside the textbox that will irritate us.

This works in VB6

 

However

 

Text1.Backcolor = #8C8C8C

Text1.Forecolor = #8C8C8C

 

doesnt work - I dont understand.

Is there any reason why you are using vb6 over VB?
