ReadOnly Property (EditBase)

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether this control is read-only.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property ReadOnly As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As EditBase
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.ReadOnly = value
 
value = instance.ReadOnly

public bool ReadOnly {get; set;}

Property Value

true if the control is read-only; otherwise, false.
The default is false.

Remarks

When this property is set to true, the contents of the control cannot be changed by the user at run time. With this property set to true, you can still set the value of the Text property in code. You can use this feature instead of disabling the control with the System.Windows.Forms.Control.Enabled property to allow the contents to be copied and ToolTips to be shown.
