This example is for a document-level customization.
Private Sub ProtectCellContents()
If Not Me.ProtectContents Then
If DialogResult.Yes = MessageBox.Show("Cell contents in this " & _
"worksheet are not protected. Protect cell contents?", "Example", _
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) Then
' Protect cell contents, but do not change any
' other protection type.
Me.Protect(DrawingObjects:=Me.ProtectDrawingObjects, _
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=Me.ProtectScenarios, _
UserInterfaceOnly:=Me.ProtectionMode, _
AllowFormattingCells:=Me.Protection.AllowFormattingCells, _
AllowFormattingColumns:=Me.Protection.AllowFormattingColumns, _
