WR LOCK DOCUMENT


WR LOCK DOCUMENT ( area ; status )

Parameter	Type	Description
area	Longint	4D Write area
status	Integer	0=unlocked 1=locked

Description

The WR LOCK DOCUMENT command prevents users from modifying the 4D Write area referenced by area. Once the document is locked, users cannot paste text, cut text, enter or modify text. Scrolling, copying, searching and printing the document are still possible.

To determine the lock status of the current document, you can use the WR GET DOCUMENT INFO command. This information is also displayed in the Document information dialog. You can access that dialog by selecting Document information from the Tools menu.

In the status parameter, you can pass one of the following constants found in the "WR Parameters" theme:

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
wr unlocked document	Longint	0	The document will be unlocked
wr locked document	Longint	1	The document will be locked
