Hi Greg,
thanks for the help ... but with your answers i guess there isn't the
concept of a read-only mode for elements (look at normal objects, not
disabled, but with selection not changeable by the user) ... is this
wanted or is a missing feature ?
For example could i implement this as a simple listener that always
return without changing the element selection (and maybe in a general
way, so we can reuse it), without changing components API ?

For this I'm also looking at the read only property of (some) HTML
Form elements ... and at least for some basic elements could be
useful, like Text Inputs, etc ...

For a user point of view, disabled means "Not available" , "Not
applicable", etc, while read-only it's another thing ... and in this
case for example Substance has optional markers to decorate the
related fields, making more evident to the user that he/she can't
modify the value, but can use it like expand it (think at a Combo box)
etc, while maybe some background logic in the application could update
its values.

What do you (and others) say ?

Ok, no problem ... i think this could be a little confusing, but for me is Ok.
