Is there a way to make a table read only?

When you click on a cell it lets you edit the contents. My table is populated from an XML file, so I’d rather not allow that.

Easiest way? Make the default widget for the parameter(s) you’re showing in the table a “label”.

You can do this in the param editor dialog.
