TextItem readonly

[vijragha]

Hi,

I want to set the value for TextItem by using setValue() method.

And also I want to make it readOnly to TextItem. I tried setCanEdit(false). It shows error.(The method setCanEdit(boolean) is undefined for the type TextItem)

My Code is

updatedBy = new TextItem(ITPC_USER_HELP.UPDATED_BY);
updatedBy.setValue(remoteUser);
updatedBy.setCanEdit(false);

Please let me know how to make it readonly.

That API does indeed exist, it's inherited from FormItem.

Try StaticTextItem instead.

BTW, if setCanEdit () is not defined or does not do the job, and you want to toggle the same TextItem between readOnly and not readOnly, I am guessing that you are stuck creating both StaticTextItem and a TextItem, keeping the values in sync between the 2, and then showing only one or the other...

setCanEdit() is defined and does the job.

I found the solution: Answer is

textitem.setAttribute("readOnly",true);

BTW, setCanEdit() works for me as well, so if it does not work for you, could you post a stand-alone test case?
