If I am correct then you are looking for Masked C# TextBox Control[^].
Refer the links below:
MaskedTextBox.Mask Property [^]

If you mean that you want a text box where the user cannot modify some of the text, just add to the end (or similar) then the text box is not a good choice - it can't do it out of the box, and it would be "clumsy" to add that functionality.

However, there is the MaskedTextBox[^] which can: look at the Mask property.

For example, setting the Mask to "FIXED TEXT: AAAAA : MORE" means that the user can enter only 5 alphanumeric characters, which will always be in the area between the ':' characters.
