DISCUSSION

The ProtectEntry function adds or removes protection for an entry in the current GDevice data structure's color table, depending on the value of the protect parameter. A protected entry can't be changed by other applications. ProtectEntry returns a protection error in QDErr if you attempt to protect an already protected entry. However, it can remove protection from any entry.
