DisplayMode.View vs DisplayMode.Disabled in Power Apps Am I understanding this correctly?

Discussion

I’m learning Power Apps, and this is my current understanding:

  1. DisplayMode.View — The user can see the control/value clearly, but cannot edit or interact with it.
  2. DisplayMode.Disabled — The user can also see the control, but cannot edit or interact with it. The main difference I notice is that the control usually looks greyed out/disabled.

So, from my understanding:

View = Read-only and displayed normally
Disabled = Read-only/unavailable and visually disabled

Apart from the appearance and the purpose of showing that a control is unavailable, is there any other important difference between DisplayMode.View and DisplayMode.Disabled that I should know about?
