Read-only scripts Scripts that have been automatically generated are marked as read-only. These scripts are usually associated with design-time controls (DTCs) and are part of the METADATA information for the control. You can view them but not change them in the Script editor.
If you change the script in Source view and later cause the DTC to regenerate its output, the script is rewritten and your changes are lost.
Static output for design-time controls
In some cases, you might want to insert generated scripts
for a DTC without the control itself. If you choose Insert>Component>ActiveX
from the menu bar and select the Generate Static Output check box
(on the Design-time tab), you will get the scripts produced by the
DTC but not the METADATA comments or <OBJECT> element. You can
then modify this static output without accidentally re-executing
the DTC and overwriting your modifications.
