Solution 1

That's the expected behavior.

Possible alternative is to have a readonly textarea instead of disabled one. This also makes the text quite readable as disabled textarea is difficult to read.

But I didn't get the readonly property of listbox..I want readonly for listbox at certain condition...( I don't want listbox.enable=false).

listbox?

For listbox, easier way would be to put the listbox in a div with scroll. Disable the listbox. This way, you can scroll the div and look at all the items of listbox.

I have use listbox in webapplication(asp.net)

<asp:ListBox ID="lstRoutes" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple"
CssClass="listbox" onselectedindexchanged="lstRoutes_SelectedIndexChanged">

in code

I didn't get read only property of list box
lstRoutes.read......??
