Stop a shape's text to be edited

Hi all,

I want to programatically stop a user from editing a shape's text. In the
Visio documentation, I found the following event:

Document_BeforeShapeTextEdit. I override this event handler and I get the
event when the user double clicks to edit the shape text. Is there
something I can do in this event handler that will stop the text editing
window to appear.

Cheers and thanks!

Hi xargon,

just set the ShapeSheet cell "LockTextEdit" to 1. You don't need any event
handlers for this.

Best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the reply. However, I need to do this programatically at run
time!

Thanks,

What about setting the ShapeSheet cell programatically? Wouldn't this solve
the problem?
