No. ReadOnly still allows the field to be selected, but not changed. Enabled (.F.) does not allow the field to be selected.

>Do I code like this (e.g.) This.field1.ReadOnly = .F.?

.T. to make it ReadOnly. If you're actually in your own object, it's just
This.ReadOnly = .T.

No, since it's not disabled.
