Hi,

Is it possible to change the item_type property of an item at run time.

I have one text item and i need to lock(Read only) that item. I hope we can change the ENABLED property or by changing the ITEM_TYPE as DISPLAY_ITEM.

How to change the Item_Type to DISPLAY_ITEM from TEXT_ITEM at run time or else is there any other way except ENABLED property to male the field as READONLY.

Thanks
Veera

you can change enabled, or set update_allowed and insert_allowed to false.
You can not change item type.

Just make sure to navigate out of that item (as you can't disable current item).
