How to make RTF control read only? 1

[Neil Toulouse]

Hi guys!

I dare say this is simple but it is eluding me!!

I have an RTF control on a form displaying some data and I want to make it read only. I have been messing with the LOCKED and SELPROTECTED properties but neither seem to make any difference, I can still type in the control.

Am I missing something obvious (very likely)??!

Thanks
Neil

I checked an app that we have that has the RTF box on it.

It has:
Enabeled = .F.
DisableNoScroll = .F.

Neil,

This is one of those cases where you have to drill down into the Object property.

So, instead of this:

THISFORM.MyRTF.Locked = .T.

you need to do this:

THISFORM.MyRTF.[b]object.[/b]Locked = .T.

Interesting, The ones in my app are disabled and scrollable and not locked in the OCX's properties. Its an app I inherited so I'll have to go look and see if their is some other code setting that at runtime.
