Details

If you are using a data form, a form editor, or a subclass of the form editor with legacy (version 6-based) widgets, the effect of _protectColumn is that you can type into columns that are protected, but the widgets revert to their previous state when you press enter. If you are using a dataform, a form editor, or a subclass of the form editor with SCOM-based controls, you cannot type in the column if it is protected. If you are using a data table, a table editor, or a subclass of a table editor, the effect of _protectColumn is that you cannot type into the column at all.
