IHTMLTextAreaElement::get_readOnly Method

---

Retrieves the value that indicates whether the element's contents are read-only, meaning that the user cannot enter or edit text in the control.

Syntax

HRESULT get_readOnly(
    VARIANT_BOOL *p 
);

Parameters

p

Address of a VARIANT Boolean structure that receives VARIANT_TRUE if the element is read-only, or VARIANT_FALSE if not. The default value for this property is VARIANT_FALSE.
