How to make editText uneditable using onChanging or someother method??

Question

I've a dialog box on my script for a users to read about my script. But I don't want them to change it. I don't want to use staticText either. I've seen lot of script writers have done that to their scripts. I guess they used onChanging method to do that. But I don't know how they did. I'm new to JS and Extended Script. Can someone Explain how to do that with this code???function helpdialog () {
  var about = new Window('dialog', "About");
  var panelAboutGroup = about.add ('group', undefined, undefined);
  panelAboutGroup.orientation = 'column';
  var aboutEditText = panelAboutGroup.add("statictext", undefined,"I WANT THIS TEXT TO BE STATIC UN EDITABLE" , {multiline: true});
}

I've done it myself... SORRY I'VE MENTIONED "statictext" INSIDE THE GROUP BY MISTAKE. IT SHOULD BE "edittext"

function helpdialog () {
  var about = new Window('dialog', "About");
  var panelAboutGroup = about.add ('group', undefined, undefined);
  panelAboutGroup.orientation = 'column';
  var stableText = "I WANT THIS TEXT TO BE STATIC UN EDITABLE";
  var aboutEditText = panelAboutGroup.add("edittext", undefined, stableText.toString() , {multiline: true});

aboutEditText.onChanging = function(){
      aboutEditText.text= stableText
}
