Fuse version 1.7.3 (build 15528)

macOS

iOS preview

According to documentation here: [https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fuse/controls/textinput](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fuse/controls/textinput)

I expect that TextInput should be read only if I specify `IsReadOnly` attribute to `true` and user should not be able to edit text.

Also keyboard should not appear on the screen when I focus on read only text input.

But I can edit text anyway.

Code which reproduces issue:

```auto
<App>
    <JavaScript>
        var Observable = require('FuseJS/Observable');
        module.exports = {
            isReadOnly: true,
            isReadOnlyObs: Observable(true),
            inputOneText: Observable("xxx"),
            inputTwoText: Observable("yyy"),
            inputThreeText: Observable("zzz")
        };
    </JavaScript>
    <DockPanel>
        <StackPanel Padding="10" Dock="Left">
            <TextInput Value="{inputOneText}" IsReadOnly="true"/>
            <TextInput Value="{inputTwoText}" IsReadOnly="{isReadOnly}"/>
            <TextInput Value="{inputThreeText}" IsReadOnly="{isReadOnlyObs}"/>
        </StackPanel>
        <StackPanel Padding="10" Dock="Right">
            <Text Value="{inputOneText}"/>
            <Text Value="{inputTwoText}"/>
            <Text Value="{inputThreeText}"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </DockPanel>
</App>

```
