Locking "Define Shape Data"

[jfleischman]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a solution using Visio and was wondering if anyone knew how to lock the ability to define the shape data on a shape. In my application, I want to restrict the ability to define the shape data to just a few users. This way unauthorized users can't go in and change the structure of the shape, therefore affecting the entire program. Basically I wan't to make the "Define" button un-clickable. Not sure if this is even possible but figured this would be the forum that would know.

I appreciate any help!

best bet:   LockCustProp = 1 on the shapesheet.

play around with it
