Problem:

When you have a 'read only' field and you jump from one field to the next within your program, the cursor will still jump into this 'read only' field as well and not to the next field. Is it possible to jump over the read only field straight to the next read/write field?

Resolution:

This behaviour is as expected. It's part of the Windows functionality. Even thought you cannot change data in a 'read only' field, you still might want to be able to copy the data inside and therefore you need to be able to got in this field for copy purposes.

If you really would like to jump over this field to the next read/write field, you need to change this to for example a 'read only' display field. That way it will only 'display' the contents. However you won't have a box/frame so you might want to draw it around yourself.
