Comments

The Locked property defines whether the control allows data entry and can be edited.

The Locked property causes the control to prevent modification of its contents by the user through keyboard or mouse input while retaining all other interface features. Unlike disabling the control using the Enabled property, if a control is locked it can still receive the input focus and the user can continue to interact with the control.

If a control is locked, the popup calendar, calculator and autocomplete feature are not available.

When the Locked property is set, it also updates the LockedDropDown, LockedEllipse and LockedUpDown properties with the same Boolean value. The LockedDropDown, LockedEllipse and LockedUpDown properties can be set independently after setting the Locked property.
