Native Textbox Readonly Mode?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Can you set a readonly property on a native textbox?

#2

You can control if a TextBox is read-only or not via its “isEditable” property.  Have a look here…

Thanks!  THat’s what I needed!

#4

I’m using the following code for my textarea and it’s still not readonly.  They can edit it just fine.

 -- Create text field Row4TextArea = native.newTextField( 20, 200,280, 36 ) Row4TextArea.anchorX = 0 Row4TextArea.anchorY = 0 Row4TextArea.hasBackground = false Row4TextArea:setTextColor( 1,1,1 ) Row4TextArea.inputType = "phone" Row4TextArea.text = globals.MedCommand Row4TextArea.isEditable = false

This really needs to be a readonly field.  Is there something I’m doing wrong?

#5

The “isEditable” property is only supported by TextBoxes, not TextFields.

#6

That was the problem.  I was using the wrong text field / text area.

Thank you!
