I am trying to do it in infopath.
That field, which should be a read only multiline field, is filled by a sds. And it depends on another dropdown list (cascading). So when I make a choice in first dropdown list, that field I am trying to make, will be populated and it has always multi lines.

With a multiple choice, I just right clicked the repeating value node in the secondary data source and selected plain list (instead of bulleted list, etc) for my control. Then I set the control to read only.</description></item><item><title>Re: Multiline text box or making a listbox read only</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123807.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Jan 2021 06:59:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123807</guid><dc:creator>saltmu</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123807.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=123807</wfw:commentRss><description>Oh, I tried that too but it didn’t worked either. Could you please explain how you did that? First you have created a plain text column on sharepoint side I guess? Then?

I just tried with multi-line data in a secondary data source, and it seems to disregard the &amp;quot;read only&amp;quot; setting on the control. I set up a multiple choice column and then in my form was able to bind that to a plain list control, and set the plain list control to read only, and that worked....</description></item><item><title>Re: Multiline text box or making a listbox read only</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123805.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jan 2021 20:27:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:123805</guid><dc:creator>saltmu</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/123805.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=123805</wfw:commentRss><description>It supposed to be multi line text field but I could not acchive to create it.

I need to present a multiline textbox with de data from a 2nd data source (a connection to sharepoint list).
De data has multi records and it’s need to be read only. So user should not be able to select.
I can use a listbox for multi lines but I can’t make it read only. I have also tried a computed field but it can display just the first record.
I can use a rule to disable the listbox but then it will be hard to read because of the default format of disabled fields (greyed out).

So, my question is, how can I show a multiline textbox as read only field?
If this is not possible, how can I change the default layout of a disabled field, so that it will be beter to read and see?

Any suggestions guru’s?
