how to make input field read-only

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on the Visual Composer for the first time, we want to make the input field as read-only. But have not been able to do it.

Aligning of the label is not easy, even when you have the absolute because what you see in the layout is not the same in the run-time.

Can anyone please provide some help on this.

Thanks

Hi,

To align the controls, use the position(pixels) property in Control properties->Display tab

Hi Ash,

Please right click on Input form then select Configure Element.

Double click on the Field which you want to make read only, "Control Properties" Dialog Box opens.

Select General Tabs and check the disabled Property.

Open the property dialog (control properties) for the field (double click field). Then on the General tab check the Disabled check box.

It's true that label alignment is not always easy. If you choose to put label above the field you have a bit more control (Choose label position = above from the display tab in the control property dialog).

To get all labels on line you can ctrl+click all labels and choose the alignment icon below the layout board.

Hi Henning,

I am looking for making it read-only.

If we disable it, the color change and then readability of that text is very very low. So, have tried with the disabling it.

Hi,

The only way to make an input field read only is to make it disabled..

If you want better visibility of the text then try to go for an "Expression Box".
