$R.Plugin.Myplugin.prototype = {
    onmessagename: function(arg1, argN)
    {
        // code...
    }
};

// external API
var is = $R('#content', 'isReadOnly');

// call in plugins
this.app.enableReadOnly();

// external API
$R('#content', 'enableReadOnly');

this.app.disableReadOnly();

// external API
$R('#content', 'disableReadOnly');

obj1	Object
objN	Object
deep	Boolean

Returns: Object
