Disable selecting text in a TextBox

Question

I have a textbox with the following (important) properties:

this.license.Multiline = true;
this.license.ReadOnly = true;
this.license.ScrollBars = System.Win         


        

Answer 1

Attach to the SelectionChanged event, and inside the event set e.Handled = true; and the SelectionLength = 0; and that will stop the selection from occuring. This is similar to what it takes to keep a key press from happening.
