Eto CodeEditor readonly mode

Hello,

I am testing to convert my Windows.Forms or WPF windows to Eto.
I was using AvalonEdit to view the source code.
I only need to visualize, so I set Avalon to Readonly =" True "
but with Eto.CodeEditor I can’t find read-only mode. I found the ʻEnabled` property but when it is set to “False”, I can’t select text, copy it, or use the scroll bar.
I at least need to be able to use scrolling even though we can’t edit the text.

Eto.CodeEditor-ReadonlyMode
Eto.CodeEditor-ReadonlyMode926×337 91.8 KB

Is it not possible? or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you, jmv

@curtisw - is this anything you know about?

I think @alain would know better about this. Perhaps we need to add a ReadOnly property to the CodeEditor control?

Hi. There is no read only property as of yet but there will be soon. (RH-61165).

Thank you to all of you.

Bonjour @Alain !

Could you let me know the status of this?

I see your comment from 4 months ago:
This is being implemented in the new code editor: RH-65201

but the status is Obsolete, are there any issues? Is the possibility of a ReadOnly mode always possible?

Merci jmv

Hi @kitjmv ,

We have read-only sections working as a proof of concept in the new editor so it looks like it will be possible. So unless something unexpected comes up it will be a feature of the new editor.
