Making the Control Read-only

Go Up to Making a control data aware Index

Because this data calendar will be read-only with respect to the data, it makes sense to make the control itself read-only, so users will not make changes within the control and expect them to be reflected in the database.

Making the calendar read-only involves:

• Adding the ReadOnly property.
• Allowing Needed Updates.

Note: If you started with the TCalendar component from Delphi's Samples page instead of TSampleCalendar, it already has a ReadOnly property, so you can skip these steps.
