This example is for a document-level customization.
Private Sub ProtectShapes()
If Not Me.ProtectDrawingObjects Then
If DialogResult.Yes = MessageBox.Show("Shapes in this worksheet " & _
"are not protected. Protect shapes the worksheet?", "Example", _
MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) Then
' Protect shapes, but do not change any
' other protection type.
Me.Protect(DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=Me.ProtectContents, Scenarios:=Me.ProtectScenarios, _
UserInterfaceOnly:=Me.ProtectionMode, _
AllowFormattingCells:=Me.Protection.AllowFormattingCells, _
AllowFormattingColumns:=Me.Protection.AllowFormattingColumns, _
