`published property TDBMemo.ReadOnly : Boolean read GetReadOnly write SetReadOnly default False;`

## Description

ReadOnly is a Boolean property which indicates whether the control is prevented from modifying its textual content. When set to False, the control value can be edited.

Read and write access specifiers in TDBMemo are overridden, and to the property value is redirected to the ReadOnly property in the TFieldDataLink instance used in the class. Write access calls the inherited method prior to updating the value in the field data link.
