Luiz

Thanks for the idea - I gave it a quick try but sadly it didn't work. The
InplaceEditor still shows although you can't edit the cell.

I tried to find a place in the source where it decides to show the
InPlaceEditor but couldn't. It seems to check the read-onliness when a key
is pressed rather than when the InPlaceEditor is displayed.

Regards
Paul
