Demonstrates a ReadOnly textbox that still supports edits through the calendar and commands
Normally a readonly textbox (where ReadOnly=true) cannot be edited.
Use the ReadOnlyAllowsEdits property
to enable editing by the popup Calendar and commands, such as those shown in the Help button,
context menu and keystroke shortcuts.
Controls
Put the focus in the textbox and use commands like up and down arrow. Click on the Help button
or popup the calendar to further change the value. Try to type a date and it will not be allowed.
