# Sandbox.UI.TextEntry.ReadOnly

```csharp
bool ReadOnly { get; set; }
```

The text can be selected and copied, but not changed. Unlike [Sandbox.UI.TextEntry.Disabled](/api/Sandbox.UI.TextEntry/Disabled) this
still takes focus, so it reads and behaves like text rather than like a dead control.

Declared in [Sandbox.UI.TextEntry](/api/Sandbox.UI.TextEntry).
Assembly: `Sandbox.Engine`.
