<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  Programming > User Interface > Modify the look and feel of the editor > EditOptions, Readonly

The properties EditOptions and EditOptionsEx control how the editor works. They are also used to disable certain actions, such as table resizing. The property Readonly will completely disable editing.

 

Note: If you need temporary protection of the text, maybe only in certain text layers, such as header and footer, you can use the event BeforeChange to abort any changing operation.
