You need to set the field to usable but not editable. The user can still select text (i.e. to copy and paste), but they can't edit the field.
I believe (haven't done this for a while) that you may need to set the field to editable for the duration of your calls to update it... then set it back to non-editable once you're done. Can't recall for sure though...

I am using a text field to display the results of a hangman game. I would like to prevent the user from modifiying the text field directly. Any ideas?
