 What about my case?. Perhaps there is other form of doing it, but i don't
 know (ideas, please? :).

 In a program that access to database, there are fields of text. I want to
 make a window with basic data and detail data. Basic data must be
 uneditable until you pulse "edit" button. When you finish and pulse "Ok"
 or "cancel", data is uneditable again. But I need data is always visible,
 because it seems rare that user must to edit for viewing text fields.

 That is the matter. If there is a standar form of doing that, I'd like to
 know, please :)

 Thanks for all.
