lockTextset [the] lockText of field to trueOrFalse
The lockText property returns or sets whether the user can edit the text within a specified field. It corresponds to the Lock Text check box in a Field Info dialog box. The default value is false (meaning the field is unlocked). When a field is locked, it can receive the system messages mouseDown, mouseDoubleClick, mouseStillDown, and mouseUp when the user clicks it. Before a field can act as a list field, its lockText property must be set to true. Examplesset the lockText of card field 1 to true set the lockText of the target to false -- if the target is a field set the lockText of me to true -- if in a field script
