Get started with MultiSelect, the WinForms control that provides the ease of selecting multiple objects from a list/collection. See more in documentation here.

MultiSelect provides a way to indicate whether its text editor is read-only or not. This is useful when you want to restrict the user from typing. With the read-only feature, you can select tags from the dropdown list but cannot edit any tags or add any entries by typing in the text editor.

To support ready-only editor, the [C1MultiSelect](/componentone/docs/win/online-multiselect/) class provides the [ReadOnly](/componentone/docs/win/online-multiselect/) property. The following code snippet shows how to set this property:

**csharp**

```csharp
// MultiSelect コントロールの ReadOnly プロパティを True に設定します。
c1MultiSelect1.ReadOnly = true;
```

**TAB CAPTION**

```TAB
' MultiSelect コントロールの ReadOnly プロパティを True に設定します。
C1MultiSelect1.ReadOnly = True
```
