ASPxEdit.ReadOnly Property

Gets or sets a value indicating whether an end-user can change the editor’s contents at runtime.

Assembly : DevExpress.Web.v25.2.dll

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public override bool ReadOnly { get; set; }

Public Overrides Property [ReadOnly] As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean

true, if an end-user cannot change the editor’s contents; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the ReadOnly property to specify whether the contents of an editor can be modified by an end-user at runtime. For example, setting the ReadOnly property of an ASPxTextBox editor to true, prevents the text displayed within that editor from being changed by an end-user.

Example

This example demonstrates how to define the read-only style for a text box editor.
