I have a Windows form in a C# project.

What I want to do under certain circumstances is to 'Lock' a text-box.
I know that I can do this by setting the Enable property to false, but this
greys it out.
Any suggestions as to the best way of making a TextBox read-only without
greying it out?

Regards,

ChrisM
