Locking an ASP Control

[Greg]

I need to lock my ASP controls so that a user cannot make any changes. I've
tried the Enabled=False property, but this dims how the text looks. I don't
want to disable the control, I just want it locked. How can I lock a control
so that the user cannot change it's value until I allow them. In a Windows VB
application I would use the .Locked property, but I don't see this for the
asp:TextBox control.

I'm not really an ASP.NET developer, but... set the ReadOnly property
to true?
