Disable or lock text edit PyQT

Question

I want to disable a text edit (when a button is clicked), so the user can no longer be able to add text in there.

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks for your help!!

Answer 1

Use this to disable text edit (QTextEdit) in PyQt

self.textEdit.setDisabled(True)

Answer 2

You can set it as read-only with:

self.textEdit.setReadOnly(True)

I prefer this to the setDisabled method because it maintains its original visual appearance.

Answer 3

Call the text edit object's setDisabled() function
