cuttable

Arguments: dialog-item

Returns whether anything will be done when cut-selection or delete-selection is called on dialog-item or its widget-window. The value of this property may be set by calling (setf cuttable), or it may be set in the inspector when laying out forms in the IDE.

If nil, then cut-selection or delete-selection will do nothing and will return nil. Otherwise they will proceed as usual (though deletion is still done only when there is an applicable method to do it).

The default value is t for text-editing widgets, where text deletion is typically allowed, and nil most everywhere else. The default is t for a combo-box, though this applies only when its typable property is true and affects only the typable pane. The value may be set to true for a single-item-list or multi-item-list to cause cut-selection and delete-selection to remove the selected item(s) from its range.
