Lock drawing control

[jpabich]

Is there a way to lock the entire drawing control so no shapes can be
moved and nothing about it can be modified?

May be no way. How would you like to use Visio Viewer?

I am going to be having the user put together a drawing and then show
them a more detailed finished product, but I don't want them to be able
to changed the finished drawing. I only want modifications to be made
on a certain screen. I was looking for a way to prevent them from
making any modifications to the drawing in a certain screen.

two scenarios come to mind a.) put 'guard' in the key shapesheet fields for
all of your shapes b.) keep a shadow image of your drawing and then refresh
the control if you get an event that you don't like.

I've not tried this with a drawing control, but do this with my Visio
diagrams. I make sure everything is on a layer and then lock all the
layers.

I agree with JuneTheSecond. I have made an application for a client who want
administrator to be able to modify the drawing and user not to be able to
modify it. So i have created an application with the VDC control and with
the viewer control. If the user log in the application as administrator i
create a windowform with the VDC in it and feel the SRC property. If the
user log in the application as simple user, i create a windowform with the
ViewerControl in it and fill also the SRC property so the file cannot be
modified by him.
