[wxPython-users] Read Only wx.CheckBox

[Mark Erbaugh]

I thought about that.  We usually think of a checkbox as a button and
buttons can't be made read only, only disabled.  In this case, I am
using the checkbox to indicate the On/Off setting (True/False) of a
Boolean field in a database.  When the user is viewing the corresponding
record (read-only), I make the text fields read-only instead of
disabling them. The user can select text, but can't change it.  I'm not
sure of the proper paradigm for a checkbox.  Maybe I shouldn't use it
here, but a lot of programs do.
