I'm trying to find a way to make a given DRO read only.  I'm populating the DRO with the results of a formula using values input from other DRO's and it seems that allowing this particular DRO to be edited just causes confusion for users - it doesn't really harm anything, since the user-input value is just overwritten, but for usability's sake I'd love to make the DRO non-editable.

Is this possible?

Apologies if this one's obvious - I've tried searching with a few different terms, but the results of a search for DRO and edit aren't exactly helpful in this case.

Dont think it is possible I am afraid.

you might try to put a transparent button over the top of the DRO 

I haven't tested this yet.... but you might try to put a transparent button over the top of the DRO 

Thanks for the idea.  I'll give that a shot and let you know if it works.

If it works, you can make the button run a script to alert the user that the DRO is read only.

This program and it's capabilities constantly amazes me!
Seems you can do everything with it.

Acualy,
Since you are writing the code...send it to a User Label they are read only from the GUI.

myResults = "some stuff"
SetUserLabel(10, myResults)

Sorry for this stupid question.

What is GUI?

GUI is = Graphical User Interface

You can write to UserLabels using script but you can not click on them with the mouse to enter in values from the Mach screen.
