Lock Method

Summary

Locks the object(s) currently being edited (selected).

Syntax

C++

public virtual void Lock()

  
Public Overridable Sub Lock()

public: 
virtual void Lock();

Remarks

Use the CanLock property to determine whether you can currently call this method.

This method opens the AnnAutomationManager.PasswordDialogType form and uses the value entered in this dialog as the password to AnnObject.Lock.

If the AnnAutomationManager.PasswordDialogType value is null (Nothing in VB), this method will not do anything.

For more information, refer to Implementing Annotation Security. (Deprecated).

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Annotations; 
using Leadtools.WinForms; 
using Leadtools.Drawing; 
 
public void AnnAutomation_Lock(AnnAutomation automation) 
{ 
   // first add a new object to the automation 
   AnnRectangleObject rectObj = new AnnRectangleObject(); 
   rectObj.Bounds = new AnnRectangle(100, 100, 100, 100, AnnUnit.Pixel); 
   rectObj.Pen = new AnnPen(Color.Blue, new AnnLength(1, AnnUnit.Pixel)); 
   rectObj.Brush = new AnnSolidBrush(Color.Yellow); 
   automation.Container.Objects.Add(rectObj); 
   automation.Viewer.Invalidate(rectObj.InvalidRectangle); 
 
   // make sure no objects are selected in the automation 
   automation.SelectNone(); 
 
   // see if we can lock or unlock the object (this should show a message informing you that no objects are currently selected (bring edited) 
   LockUnlock(automation); 
 
   // select (edit) the object we have just added 
   automation.StartEditing(rectObj, false); 
 
   // see if we can lock or unlock the object (should show the password dialog to lock the object) 
   LockUnlock(automation); 
 
   // see if we can lock or unlock the object (should show the password dialog to unlock the object)
