Sets the lock state of a VI. If interactive is FALSE (default), you can use password to either unlock a password-protected VI or set the password of an unprotected VI. If interactive is TRUE, LabVIEW ignores password and displays a dialog box that prompts you to change the lock state.

This method is similar to the Unlocked (no password), Locked (no password), and Password-protected options on the Protection page of the VI Properties dialog box.

Parameters

Data type	Name	Required	Description
	Lock State	Yes	Specifies the level of editing permission of the VI.
	Interactive	No	Specifies whether to display a dialog box that prompts you to change the lock state. The default is FALSE.
	Password	No	If lock state is Password-protected, password is the new password. If you are changing lock state from Password-protected, password is the old password. The default is an empty string.
	Put in Cache	No	If Lock State is Password-protected, Put in Cache specifies whether to place the new password in the cache. The default is FALSE.
