Making Sources Read-Only

  1. In List View select the required source. Hold down the CTRL key to select multiple sources or SHIFT to select a range of sources.

  2. On the Project menu, click <Source> Properties. This option changes depending on the type of source you are working with.

The <Source> Properties dialog box is displayed.

  1. Click the Read-only check box.

  2. Click OK.

Right-click:

  1. In ListView, right-click the source you want to make read-only. Hold down the CTRL key to select multiple sources or SHIFT to select a range of sources.

  2. Click the <Source> Properties option.
