RangeValuePattern.RangeValuePatternInformation.IsReadOnly Property

public:
 property bool IsReadOnly { bool get(); };

public bool IsReadOnly { get; }

member this.IsReadOnly : bool

Public ReadOnly Property IsReadOnly As Boolean

Property Value

true if the value is read-only; false if it can be modified. The default is true.

Examples

In the following example, an AutomationElement that supports the RangeValuePattern control pattern has its value incremented or decremented by the control-specific LargeChange value.

SetRangeValue(targetControl[0], rangeValuePattern.Current.LargeChange, -1);

SetRangeValue(targetControl(0), rangeValuePattern.Current.LargeChange, - 1)

Remarks

A control should have its IsEnabledProperty set to true and its IsReadOnlyProperty set to false prior to the creation of a RangeValuePattern object.
