Hi!
How to turn off keyboard input in a
ComboBox like in this example
, in order to let users just click on a read-only properties and select them
(just like an ordinary selection item everywhere else)
?
There’s a ready made style for just that in the
Chameleon Theme
(click “Selects” from the sidebar and the last example there).
To see how it’s made, look here:
chameleon/components/selects/selects.css
Doing the same in Reindeer involves some more selector and property overrides, but the principal is the same: stretch the drop down arrow button to cover up the whole input (using absolute positioning).
Would use of
NativeSelect
be out of question?
OK, I got it: So it just works as designed. 
But hey, native is… ugly! Especially on Windows. Vaadin’s one is definitely great (that right round corner is very nice). But definitely the widget
should
have an option to be non-input’able.
Aha! Many thanks, Jouni. It probably means that the right answer to this issue actually is here:

No problem. And you’re right, that’s a valid feature request, thanks for the ticket.
