RepositoryItemHyperLinkEdit.ReadOnly Property

Gets or sets the read-only status of the editor.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

[DXCategory("Behavior")]
public override bool ReadOnly { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true if the end-user cannot modify the editor’s contents; otherwise false.

Remarks

The ReadOnly property specifies whether the end-user can modify the editor’s contents.

A hyperlink editor overrides the base RepositoryItem.ReadOnly property in order to control the read-only status when the RepositoryItemHyperLinkEdit.Caption property is assigned a non-empty string. In this case, the end-user is not able to modify the editor’s text and the ReadOnly property always returns true.

If the caption represents an empty string, ReadOnly returns the value you assigned to this property.

You can also disable edit box editing by setting the RepositoryItemButtonEdit.TextEditStyle property to TextEditStyles.DisableTextEditor. However unlike setting ReadOnly to true, TextEditStyles.DisableTextEditor mode prevents the user from selecting the text.
