[Fixed] ReadOnly for First Search

Fixed in 2.0.6

(Cross-posted to Lantica Online Support Request)

I'd like to make certain LEs Read Only when displaying the Search screen.  However, when I use the ReadOnly method in the form's On Retrieve Spec Open event, the LE does not change to a Read Only state until after the search is performed (i.e. hitting F10).  Once the form is open, subsequent calls to change back to Search mode (i.e. hitting F7) do properly respect the intent of the ReadOnly calls in the On Retrieve Spec Open event.

I see that too. It's most likely by design (so you can still search on read-only fields), though I know that if you explicitly tell Sesame to do something, you want it to obey.

To get around that, you could place Visibility(MyLE_Name, 0) into the On Retrieve Spec Open event, which will hide the field totally. Then, in the On Form Entry event, you can use whatever combination of ReadOnly() and Visibility() calls that you need.

Carl is correct. This happens because we were asked to force read-only fields to become available at the Retrieve Spec, which we are doing. The problem seems to be that we are doing it after the On Retrieve Spec Open programming runs. We are looking for a good way to thread the needle and retain both capabilities.

Edited:
I've just been told that they figured this out and it is fixed in 2.0.6.
