IHTMLTextAreaElement::get_readOnly

HRESULT get_readOnly(
    VARIANT_BOOL *p 
);

Determines whether the element's contents are read-only, meaning that the user cannot enter or edit text in the control.

• Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

p

Address of a variable that receives TRUE if the element is read-only, or FALSE if not.

This is different than disabled. Read-only still allows the element to receive the focus, while disabled does not allow the element to receive the focus.

The default value for this property is FALSE.
