FXRuby: Changing the options of FXTextField

Hello,

I want to change the options of a FXTextField to make it read only
(TEXTFIELD_READONLY), but I didn’t find any methods to set options after
the object is created.

You can use

field.enabled = true # or false to gray out the field

or

field.editable = true # or false to prevent editing
# without graying the field

Just set it’s editable attribute to ‘false’:

 textField.editable = false

For more info, see:

Hope this helps,

undefined method `enabled=’ for :Fox::FXTextField (NameError)

Oops, for convenience I define:

class FXWindow
alias :enabled :enabled? unless instance_methods.include?(“enabled”)
unless instance_methods.include?(“enabled=”)
def enabled=(x); x ? enable : disable; end
end
end
