In the following code I am unable to avoid the flicker of cursor inside the textbox6. This TB is attached with a calender extender. The user should be allowed only to select the date for filling
in the TB. But in this code it also allows the user to enter some data. How to avoid this cursor inside TB6.

XML

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox6" runat="server"    TabIndex="13" AutoPostBack="True" OnTextChanged="TextBox6_TextChanged"
style=" z-index: 1;top: 124px; left: 225px; position: absolute; height: 18px; width: 148px"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarExtender1" runat="server"  TargetControlID="TextBox6"
Format="yyyy/MM/dd"> </asp:CalendarExtender>

why not try to put a Validator to your textBox6,so if the user input something that is not a datetime datatype it wil clear/not accept the entered data. .

Now though that problem is OK because of 'Readonly=true' I get a new problem because of it. That is after I select the date it is not getting stored in that TB. The date blinks and disappears.
I use a breakpoint at Textbox6_textchanged but it does not enter that breakpoint also.

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" ReadOnly=true runat="server">
<asp:CalendarExtender ID="TextBox1_CalendarExtender" runat="server"
Enabled="True" TargetControlID="TextBox1">

<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">
