The following code example gets the value of the ProtectionMode property to determine whether the user interface is protected. If the user interface is unprotected, then the Protect method is called with the UserInterfaceOnly
parameter set to true
so that the user interface is protected.
This example is for a document-level customization.
private void ProtectUserInterface()
{
if (!this.ProtectionMode)
{
if (DialogResult.Yes == MessageBox.Show("User interface protection is " +
"turned off. Turn on user interface protection?", "Example",
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo))
{
// Enable user interface protection, but do not change
// any other protection type.
this.Protect(this.ProtectDrawingObjects,
this.ProtectContents, this.ProtectScenarios,
true, this.Protection.AllowFormattingCells,
this.Protection.AllowFormattingColumns,
this.Protection.AllowFormattingRows,
this.Protection.AllowInsertingColumns,
this.Protection.AllowInsertingRows,
this.Protection.AllowInsertingHyperlinks,
this.Protection.AllowDeletingColumns,
this.Protection.AllowDeletingRows,
this.Protection.AllowSorting,
this.Protection.AllowFiltering,
this.Protection.AllowUsingPivotTables);
}
}
}
Private Sub ProtectUserInterface()
If Not Me.ProtectionMode Then
If DialogResult.Yes = MessageBox.Show("User interface protection is " & _
"turned off. Turn on user interface protection?", "Example", _
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) Then
' Enable user interface protection, but do not change
' any other protection type.
