Is there a difference between focusable and locked text in the basic
properties of a field? If so what is that difference?


Focusable (the traversalOn property) means you can select in a field. Locked text (the lockText property) means the user can change the text.

In practice, there are three useful combinations:

1. traversalOn false, lockText true: a "locked-down" field. Use for labels, fixed information, etc.

2. traversalOn true, lockText false: an "open" field. Use for any field that the user has to enter text in. 3. traversalOn true, lockText true: a "selectable" field: text can be selected and copied but can't be changed. Use for a field that you don't want the user to change, but that they might want to copy text from.


I've never discovered a use for the fourth combination: traversalOn false, lockText false.
