Locked

Introduction

The Locked property controls whether an instance can be clicked in the preview window. If this value is true, then the instance cannot be clicked on directly, but must instead be selected through the Project tab.

Locked instances cannot be selected by clicking on them in the editor window

The behavior of the Locked property will change in future versions of Gum as defined in this issue: https://github.com/vchelaru/Gum/issues/273

Once a locked object is selected it can still be edited normally, both in the Variables tab and in the Editor tab. Locking an instance prevents accidental selection in the Editor tab.

The Locked property does not have any impact on the behavior of Gum objects at runtime, such as when running in FlatRedBall or MonoGame. This property only affects editor behavior.
