Setting textboxes to read only

I have a maintenance form and textboxes bound to the BO. However I want some of these text boxes bound but readonly. How do I do that?

You can do this several ways. One thing you can do is set their TextEdit from Standard (or Default) to Disabled. This will prevent the end-user from editing the control. You can find this inder their "Properties" property :P

I'm sorry I should have mentioned that the textbox in question is one of those DevExpress inherited controls. I didnt see a readonly property on them.

Hey Mike,

Set the control's read-only state = true
Set the control's IgnoreManageReadOnlyState = true (under StrataFrame Settings)

This should give you the desired results.
