Read-only column in Straight Table

I was wondering if there is an elegant solutions (a macro probably) to make some columns in a straight table read-only.
Basically what I am trying to achieve is to give the user the possibility to select the values in some of the columns but not in all of them.
At the moment I am sticking a transparent textbox on top of the columns that I want to be read-only.
Setting the read-only flag for the entire table would be too restrictive. Any suggestions?
Thank you

The way you're using transparent textboxes is the only way to do this afaik.

Thank you Jagan and Gysbert.

Jagan, thank you, in my specific case your solution works.

For QlikTech:I would really like to have more control over the properties of Straight and Pivot Tables!

Thank you

Hi Jason,

In set analysis expression I excluded the selection of dimension by giving Year=,

=Sum({<Year=>}Sales)

This will ignore the selection of year, so the straight table won't affect.
