.OptionsBehavior .ReadOnly

In read-only mode, cell editors can be invoked. However, end-users can only select and copy an editor’s content. The ReadOnly property enables the read-only status for the current View. To set the read-only status for individual columns, use the column’s OptionsColumn.ReadOnly property.
To prevent editors from being activated, disable the ColumnViewOptionsBehavior.Editable property.
The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the ReadOnly property.
