How to create a non-editable text box

Hi,

I have a need to create a non editable text box (staticTextBox is not an option). I am using TextEditbox but can't find a property that can be set to make it readonly so that users won't be able to edit the text.

How do I do this?

    Thanks pkahrel​, that answered my question. I changed from InDesign TextEditBox to ScriptUI EditText and now able to set the readonly property.
