ReadOnly

This Boolean property can be used to set a listbox into a read-only mode in which the user cannot select items with the mouse or keyboard oe an edit control into a read-only mode in which the text cannot be altered or added to. For example:

.Edit1.ReadOnly = TRUE

The following could be used to determine the current ReadOnly state of the control:

State = .Edit1.ReadOnly

Read-only text is drawn using a different background color. This color can be set as a preference in the client.

All the controls in a group can be marked read-only together using the ReadOnly() group method. Specifying an argument of TRUE makes the controls in the group read only while a value of FALSE returns the controls back to the default editable/selectable mode. Groups are set up and named at design time within the Form Designer. For example the following would make the controls in the group grpControl1 read only:

.grpControl1.ReadOnly(TRUE)
