Showing text in a Textbox that’s got property Enabled set to false or read-only set to true produces black on grey text, which isn’t very nice to read at all.
What’s the easiest way to show read only text nicely in Windows Forms?
Can’t you override the ForeColor and BackColor properties when it’s locked?
Failing that, create your own textbox class that listens to the KeyUp event and intercepts the key press if the ReadOnly (or Locked) property is set to true (preventing it being added to the text.) Then you can use any styles you like.
