Display-Only Edit Boxes

Some edit boxes should be display-only. You might want a page field to govern what appears in another control. In some cases, you might want the page control to be invisible because it is required by PeopleCode but is not accessible by a user.

If you designate the long edit box as display-only, select the Expand Field When Display Only check box to hide the scroll and automatically expand the size of the edit box as necessary to display large amounts of text in the field.

You can configure controls to be display-only at runtime by configuring properties on the Use tab at design time.
