Prevent users from editing the content of a TextInput while keeping the UI behavior and look appropriate for HarmonyOS (including wearables).
Disable interaction and show disabled style
Use .enabled(false) when you want the control to be clearly non-interactive and allow the system’s disabled styling.
Block tap-to-focus but keep normal visual
Use .focusOnTouch(false) to prevent the keyboard/focus while preserving the normal (non-disabled) appearance.
Completely remove focusability
Use .focusable(false) for a general, comprehensive way to block focus from any source.
Verified on API Version 19 Release with HarmonyOS 5.1.1 Release SDK in DevEco Studio 5.1.1 Release: editing is blocked in all three options; visuals differ as described.
