If the EditControlStyle of an item is set to Read Only (item.EditOptions.EditControlStyle = XTPReportEditStyle.xtpEditStyleReadOnly;) and the item text exceeds the visible area of the item, the text that exceeds the item size becomes inaccessible to the user.

Whilst not being allowed to edit the contents of the item, shouldn't the user still be able to scroll the contents to read what is not immediately visible?

I'm using version 11.2.0. Is there a workaround for this?

put the same text in tooltips so if user put mouse over then the full text appear in the tooltip

Thanks for your suggestion. I already have the tooltip showing the data, however for items that hold alot of data, it is not a pleasant sight to have a tooltip that takes up half the screen or more.
