Indicates whether you can tab to a browse column but not edit it.
Data type: LOGICAL
Access: Readable/Writable
Applies to: BROWSE widget (column)
Setting the COLUMN-READ-ONLY attribute to TRUE allows the user to select
and copy the browse cell contents despite being read-only. The READ-ONLY
attribute does not allow this functionality.
For combo-box and toggle-box browse columns, setting the COLUMN-READ-ONLY
attribute to TRUE is treated the same as setting the READ-ONLY attribute to
TRUE.
Note: The
COLUMN-READ-ONLY attribute of the
browse column corresponds to the READ-ONLY attribute of the fill-in, while the
READ-ONLY attribute of the browse column corresponds to the SENSITIVE attribute of the
fill-in.
