Parameter.ReadOnly
Sets or returns a Boolean
value indicating whether the parameter is read-only. This flag is
primarily a user interface concept; if set to true, the parameter
appears to be greyed out on the Property Page.
Although the value of a read-only parameter in the Property Page
(PPG) cannot be changed through the user interface, it can be
changed using the Object Model (see Parameter.Value).
Tip: Changing the ReadOnly flag only affects one particular
instance of the parameter.
Note: Setting this property is not undoable. If you want to change
the read-only capability and make it undoable, then use Parameter.SetCapabilityFlag.
