Examples

Here is how to use a ReadOnly in the C# code:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var syntaxEdit1 = new Alternet.Editor.SyntaxEdit(this.components);
        syntaxEdit1.LoadFile("myfile.txt");
        syntaxEdit1.ReadOnly = true;
    }
}

Here is how to use a ReadOnly in the Visual Basic code:

Partial Public Class Form1
    Inherits Form

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim syntaxEdit1 = New Alternet.Editor.SyntaxEdit(Me.components)
        syntaxEdit1.LoadFile("myfile.txt")
        syntaxEdit1.ReadOnly = True
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Setting the ReadOnly property to true will restrict any changes to SyntaxEdit control content.

Set the SetLineReadonly method to make specific lines read-only rather than the entire content.
