Question

I am looking to make a QT form read-only, but NOT disabled. What I am trying to achieve is that the user is still able to use the controls on it, for example see what elements are there in a combo box, or scroll to the end of a list box, but should not be able to change the values of these components. Since the disabled form does not allow any interaction, and I did not find in the API anything related to make a form read-only I am wondering what possible solution are there for this problem.

Answer 1

I chose the approach to have a special method in my Form class which:

• makes the text edits read-only
• the combo/check/list, other controls disabled
• controls which allow navigation are enabled
