Locked Property

Specifies whether a control can be edited.

Syntax

object.Locked [= Boolean]

The Locked property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. A valid object.
Boolean	Optional. Whether the control can be edited.

Settings

The settings for Boolean are:

Value	Description
True	You can't edit the value.
False	You can edit the value (default).

Remarks

When a control is locked and enabled, it can still initiate events and can still receive the focus.

The Enabled and Locked properties work together to achieve the following effects:

If Enabled and Locked are both True, the control can receive focus and appears normally (not dimmed) in the form. The user can copy, but not edit, data in the control.
If Enabled is True and Locked is False, the control can receive focus and appears normally in the form. The user can copy and edit data in the control.
If Enabled is False and Locked is True, the control cannot receive focus and is dimmed in the form. The user can neither copy nor edit data in the control.
If Enabled and Locked are both False, the control cannot receive focus and is dimmed in the form. The user can neither copy nor edit data in the control.
