Description

This property specifies whether or not the user may alter the text in an object. The default value of ReadOnly is 0 which allows the user to alter text.

If you set ReadOnly to 1, a cursor is displayed in the object, the user may navigate around the text in the usual manner with the mouse and/or the keyboard and select text and copy it to the clipboard. However, all input that would otherwise change the data is ignored.

For a Button object with Style 'Radio' or 'Check', setting ReadOnly to 1 prevents the user from changing the state of the Button, although mouse and other events will still be reported.
