The DocumentProtection Object

This class is used to get and set document protection settings for a document.

You cannot create a DocumentProtection object using the new keyword. You must get an existing DocumentProtection object from a Document.

MS Word equivalent: Tools menu > Protect Document...

The following sample gets the DocumentProtection object of a document so you can start working with these properties.

[csharp]

WordApplication app = new WordApplication();
 Document doc = app.Create();
 DocumentProtection docProtect = doc.DocumentProtection;

[vbnet]

Dim app As New WordApplication()
 Dim doc As Document = app.Create()
 Dim docProtect As DocumentProtection = doc.DocumentProtection
