How to inhibit textbox but display ID data

Question

I would like the Textbox ID to be inhibited (I don’t want to be invisible) but to display ID data that is saved (autoincrement) in the database.

I’m using Visual Studio 2015 Community.

Example: I register a client without putting the ID, but when viewing this client, the ID would be displayed in the textox ID.

Answer 1

Changing the property Enabled for false, or the property ReadOnly for true.

In most components, change the value of ReadOnly keeps the control with the same appearance, but prevents some value from being inserted. In contrast, the Enabled shows the control with a slightly different appearance. But this at all times will vary as the operating system, in the form below the first Textbox is normal, the second is with Enabled as false and the third is with ReadOnly active.

You can do this in the code, in the form builder

public MeuForm()
{
    InitializeComponents();
    txtId.Enabled = false;
}

Or in the properties window, by Visual Studio.
