    Multiline textbox where the text can be selected and copied but not edited

    Hello

    Title pretty much says it all. I want a multiline textbox where the text can be selected and copied but not edited. Enabled = False obviously won't work because then you can't select. I realize I could do a change event macro that resets the textbox but I was hoping there was some "standard" way of doing it.

    Thanks in advance

    Try setting the Locked property to TRUE
