title: iPhone/iPad: How to make UITextField readonly (but not disabled)?
body: <p>I understand this question has been asked before, but I'm not satisfied with the answers, i.e. by making it disabled. There is a fundamental difference: Disabled view doesn't fire events, but for a read-only view, it should still fire event like (e.g. TouchUpInside), and I need it. Only thing I don't want is the keyboard input.</p>
  
  <p>The reason is that I have several input fields, some can use<code>UITextField</code> directly, others are not. I want to have them look similar. So, I'd like to use <code>UITextField</code> to display all of them. Some of them need to be read-only so that I can use touch up event for alternative input.</p>
  
  <p>Or there might be a completely different way to do it?  </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: This is for my MonoTouch project. I have very limited knowledge of Objective-c.</p>
