For your requirement,U have to put textbox property Readonly=True.

If you only want to show a value, but no way to edit the value you could use a Label.

ReadOnly = True and TabStop = false...it will not prevent the user from clicking it, but you could write javascript so that on focus it moves the focus elsewhere.
