SetViewReadOnly()
Summary
Changes the read-only status of a view.
Syntax
SetViewReadOnly(string view_name, boolean read_only_flag)
| Argument | Contents |
|---|---|
| view_name | The name of the view |
| read_only_flag | Whether the view is read-only. If "False" values can be written to the view, subject to the notes appearing below. |
Note
-
If view_name is null, SetViewReadOnly() changes the current view.
-
If the view is a dBASE, comma-separated text, fixed-format text or fixed-format binary table, SetViewReadOnly() closes and reopens the necessary files if there is a change of read-only status.
-
For other views SetViewReadOnly() marks the view as read-only but does not reopen any files.
-
If the view is a joined view, SetViewReadOnly() does not affect the read-only status of component views.
Example
