Inputbox read-only property

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 17:18:39 GMT

Hi everybody,

does anyone know if exists the possibility of setting the read-only property for a Input box variable object via macro?

I'm creating automatically a set of variables and some of them must be read-only. The dialog property allow this but API documentation seems excluding this feature for Inputbox.

Both

boxprop.Layout.MemberAttributes.Item(0).ReadOnly = true

and

boxprop.Layout.ReadOnly = true

are stated as not correct

Thanks in advance

Luca

It is kind of hidden in the API Guide, but it is possible.

Here is the code to change a variable to Read-only:

set v = ActiveDocument.Variables("vVariable")
 prop = v.GetProperties
 prop.ConstraintsFlag = 4 'Read-only
 v.SetProperties prop

Hi NMiller,

it's just the solution I've found (in the same time of you).

Thanks a lot!
