[Gambas-user] How top clearing a readonly textbox

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Might be simplest to check the read only status before calling Clear().
But this surely works:
Dim sText As String = TextBox1.Text
TextBox1.Clear
TextBox1.Text = sText

The method _Change() is called after the change is done to the .Text thus
it is too late to stop.
Not sure if all this is wanted behavior.
