Cell-Protection

This property allows you to set or retrieve the protection setting of the cell identified by the X and Y properties.

Valid values are:

0	The cell is not protected at all. The user can access the cell and modify its value. This is the default setting.
1	The cell is read-only. The user can move into the cell, but cannot change its content.
2	The cell is protected. Any access to the cell is denied. If the user tries to move into a protected cell with the keyboard, it is skipped and the cursor goes to the next valid cell. If protected cell is clicked, no action occurs.
