**SetReadOnly( **//state//** ), VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetReadOnly** | The **SetReadOnly **method places the edit-in-place control in a read-only state. |
| //state// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that indicates whether to disable the droplist control's dropdown button. A value of one (1 or True) disables the button. A value of zero (0 or False) has no effect on the control. |

**Implementation:**

The SetReadOnly method uses PROP:ReadOnly to place the edit-in-place conrol in a read-only state. After the parent call in the Init method of the EditInPlace object is the recommended place to call SetReadonly.

**Example:**

**EditInPlace::CUS:Number.SetReadOnly()**
