Remarks

By default, when end-users try to resize layout items, the adorner layer (see the OptionsView.DrawAdornerLayer property) highlights those with locked sizes. In the following figure, locked items are highlighted in light purple.

If you set the AllowLockSizeIndicators property to DefaultBoolean.True, along with this color indication, locked items will additionally display lock indicators (see the figure below). These elements allow your end-users to instantly recognize whether an item width, height or both width and height are locked.
