Description Christoph Kobe 2016-11-11 13:00:55 UTC
Overview:
The form designer does not allow one to set columns for tables of type Check Box to read-only, while all other types (e.g. Text Box, List Box, Date Field, Time Field, etc.) can be set to read only.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a database table that contains columns of types bool and varchar
2. Use the wizard to create a form with the table view (default)
3. Edit the newly created form
4. Right click the column for the varchar (type: Text Box) > Column... > General Tab. There is an option "read-only" which can be set to yes or no .
5. Right click the column for the bool (type: Check Box) > Column... > General Tab. Here is no option to set the column to read-only (actual behaviour). I believe here should be a read-only option, too (expected behaviour).

Could confirm Read-only couldn't be set for Check Box and Option Button. You could get nearly the same behavior when setting Enabled > No. Only the color of the sign in the box will be greyed out.
I will set this bug to "new" and the importance to "minor", because you could also disable the fields with the same effect.

There has never been an option Read-only for this fields. So I will set this bug to Inherited from OOo.

My system: OpenSUSE 42.1, 64bit rpm Linux, LO 5.2.3.3, also tested with LO 3.6.7.2 and some other versions of LO.

At the moment I don't have the time to install a newer version.

Bug still exists in LO 7.3.4.2 on OpenSUSE 15.3 64bit rpm Linux.

Read only isn't implemented for a checkbox. It is the same behavior for the control outside the tablecontrol, so I will change the title.
