Description
The WR LOCK DOCUMENT command prevents users from modifying the 4D Write area referenced by area. Once the document is locked, users cannot paste text, cut text, enter or modify text. Scrolling, copying, searching and printing the document are still possible.
To determine the lock status of the current document, you can use the WR GET DOCUMENT INFO command. This information is also displayed in the Document information dialog. You can access that dialog by selecting Document information from the Tools menu.
In the status parameter, you can pass one of the following constants found in the "WR Parameters" theme:
| Constants (value) | Description |
| wr locked document (0) | The document will be unlocked |
| wr unlocked document (1) | The document will be locked |
Example

WR LOCK DOCUMENT(Area;wr locked document )
`Users will not be able to select the menu command Tools>Document Information
`to open the dialog box and enable the option
