Shows the current lock settings set with the Protection command plus a few additional locks that can be set only in a ShapeSheet window.

Remarks

Locking helps prevent inadvertent changes to the shape but does not prevent Microsoft Visio from resetting values in other circumstances. It also does not protect against changes made in the ShapeSheet window.

To protect a formula from being changed, use the GUARD function.
