Disable or lock text edit PyQT

I want to disable a text edit (when a button is clicked), so the user can no longer be able to add text in there.

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks for your help!!

You can set it as read-only with:

self.textEdit.setReadOnly(True)

I prefer this to the setDisabled method because it maintains its original visual appearance.

Call the text edit object's setDisabled() function
