    Question

    Hi.

    I opened up a VB project that was contained on my Visual Studio CD and I noticed that the project's Form contained a little icon that looked like a black lock in the Project Explorer Window.

    Does anyone know what the purpose of this "black lock" is?

    Thanks.

    Martin,

    thanks for the info. Your answer generated another question: How do you make a form read-only? Seems like it would be simple, but I couldn't find it.

    Thanks.

    Right-click on any file. Click Properties, check the Read-Only attribute.
