Syntax

Step.EditAsReadOnly

Data Type

Boolean

Purpose

Specifies if dialog boxes that edit the step launch in read-only mode. Implement code for such dialog boxes to obtain the value of this property and launch the Edit dialog box in read-only mode if it returns True . The sequence editor sets this property if the file that contains the step is read-only, if the user does not have sufficient privileges to edit the step, or if executions are currently running.

Remarks

When implementing an Edit substep for a step type, this property works in conjunction with the Supports Edit As Read-Only option for the Edit substep in the

Step Type Properties dialog box. The sequence editor does not call the Edit substep for a read-only step unless Supports Edit As Read-Only is True for the Edit substep. If you do not want to handle launching the dialog box in read-only mode, leave Supports Edit As Read-Only set to False .
