I need a little more information from you. Are you trying to disable the textbox (Read-only)? You can say "Textbox1.enabled = false"

After you set the text, clear the selection:

textBox1.Text += "String" + Environment.NewLine + "String";
textBox1.Select(0, 0);

SelectionLength will be 0 until after the TextBox receives focus, which explains why setting that property did not work.

Setting the ReadOnly property to True should be enough. Maybe you have some other code that selects the text you programtically put into the textbox.
