I started using squeak with Squeak 3.6 and one of the classes I used was TextDisplayMorph. At some point this class disappeared from Squeak so I just carried it forward. But now I would like to get rid of it and use whatever one is supposed to use instead of a TextDisplayMorph. The key property I am looking for is that the user cannot edit the text in the morph. My best guess as to the replacement for TextDisplayMorph is PluggableTextMorph but of course it allows the user to edit the text.
What class do I use to replace TextDisplayMorph and if the answer is PluggableTextMorph how am I supposed to make the text not editable by the user? Alternatively could someone point me to code in Squeak that I could study to find my answer?
Thanks

Hello
StringMorph or TextMorph might work. Override mouse handling in TextMorph to prevent edits would be my first guess

Any morph can be "locked" to make it ignore user input. It's in the halo menu, or send "lock: true".

This method is from 2006. Never saw that all the years. Every day a new piece to discover :)

That method has been there forever (*).
