Validation Error messages for disabled field

Is it possible to view error messages for a disabled field. Let me clarify.

TextItem 1 on form is disabled. Its value is dependent on TextItem 2 and 3 (say). Validation is performed on the resulting value in TextItem 1(still disabled as it should). The red error comes up, but user unable to view the message.

I know this isn't a bug. What I want to know is there a way to have user view the error message (upon hovering over error icon) when field is disabled. What are the options, set to readonly , etc ?

I have the same problem. Use the setCanEdit ( false) instead of setDisabled(true)
