Static text box control
A static text box displays a text string that cannot be edited.
Although you can assign a field to a static text-box control, it is preferable to use a text-box control with fields so that users can modify the contents. A static text box prevents users from editing the contents of the field, which might not be what you want. If you want to prevent users from editing the field only during specific actions, use a text-box control and adjust the field behavior settings appropriately.
The property sheet for a static text-box control has one page: General.
