I have an EDIT control on a MSI Dialog.
I want this to be a read-only scrollable field.

So, I set the ES_READONLY window style, and leave the control as
Enabled=true.

The control is still editable!

Am I missing something? If I disable the control, scrolling will also be
turned off and the user won't be able to see additional info.

Maybe you could use the scrollabletext control instead?

No, I need edit.
ScrollableText doesn't support properties and represents characters
differently.
