Remarks
CanEdit does not check if the layer is currently editable; it only checks to see if the layer can be made editable. Use the Editable property to actually make the layer editable.
CanEdit value is set based on the <LAYER readonly=""false""> which must be under the <ArcPad> tag. iF the <readonly> attribute is set to true or there is no <readonly> tag, the CanEdit value is set to true. Then the Edit checkbox on the Layers page (inside Table of Content dialog window) is visible.
The Layer.Editable property can be set only when CanEdit value is true.
