Remarks

Use the AllowEditing property to prevent unintentional editing in stencils. Setting the value of this property for stencils that are already open for editing has no effect. This property has no effect on Visio stencils (stencils that are shipped on the Microsoft Office Visio CD) or on other stencils that have been published to Visio by using an .msi file.

Note  Starting with Microsoft Office Visio 2003, only user-created stencils are editable. By default, Visio stencils are not editable.
