Are you using Windows?  Some of this is a limitation of the native 
widget.  On Windows, setting the ES_READONLY style is not enough to have 
it actually take effect.  You need to send the control an EM_SETREADONLY 
message.  The "SetEditable" method does that.  Please try that instead.

That's the danger of something like wxWidgets.  It makes you think the 
world is a lovely and consistent place, but there's a lot of chaos 
hiding underneath.
