QLineEdit enables setText even when setReadOnly is "true"

[walle19]

Hi,
My QT: version 4.8
OS: Kubuntu14

I have a few QLineEdit Objects that I have set with setReadOnly(true)
For some reason when I call setText on those objects the text appears inside the QLineEdit.

What is the reason for this?

Thanks

@walle19
setReadOnly() only means that the user cannot interactively type into the widget. You can always set its value in code.
