+
+### Disabled vs Readonly vs Hidden
+
+Disabled widgets are fully shown, but in a way that indicates the value cannot be changed.
+
+Readonly widgets are shown in a special way that displays a value, but is not interactive. Often we switch to a
+different component for faster performance, such as a simple
+label. It is impossible to change the value of a readonly widget.
+
+Hidden widgets are not visible.
