Changing backcolor of read-only textbox.

i don't think so - this is a problem on PC too
you can maybe work-around that problem:
1.) making it NOT readonly
2.) place an event-handler for the Keydown, keyup, keypress and simply
catch all key-events (set e.handled = true)
now you can focus in that control but can't type anything... maybe that
will work for you?

it is not a clean solution, but It may works.
Thanks.

of course not - that's why i called it a "work-around" ;-)

You can work around this on the desktop by manually changing the background
color (to something else then back to Window). Unfortunately this doesn't
work with NETCF. You may be able to get the desired effect with a label,
though.
