Description

Read_Only_State allows protection of the content of the control while still allowing users freedom to navigate and perform operations that do not edit the contents of the control, such as copying text. This is useful for displaying existing text, such as an RTF document, in the control.

Read_Only_State does not prohibit programmatic changes to the control, only changes via the user interface, such as typing, cutting or deleting text.

The Read method reads RTF document and displays it in the control.
