TextBox.IsReadOnly Property

Silverlight

Gets or sets the value that determines if the user can change the text in the text box.

Namespace: System.Windows.Controls
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Copy

public bool IsReadOnly { get; set; }

XAML Attribute Usage

<TextBox IsReadOnly="bool"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the text box is read-only; otherwise, false. The default is false.
