EM_SETREADONLY message

Sets or removes the read-only style (ES_READONLY) of an edit control. You can send this message to either an edit control or a rich edit control.

Parameters

wParam

Specifies whether to set or remove the ES_READONLY style. A value of TRUE sets the ES_READONLY style; a value of FALSE removes the ES_READONLY style.

lParam

This parameter is not used.

Return value

If the operation succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the operation fails, the return value is zero.

Remarks

When an edit control has the ES_READONLY style, the user cannot change the text within the edit control.

To determine whether an edit control has the ES_READONLY style, use the GetWindowLong function with the GWL_STYLE flag.
