Remarks
In general, Text Object Model (TOM) methods that attempt to change the formatting or content of a range fail with E_ACCESSDENIED if any part of that range is protected, or if the document is read only. To make a change in protected text, the TOM client should attempt to turn off the protection of the text to be modified. The owner of the document may permit this to happen. For example in rich edit controls, attempts to change protected text result in an EN_PROTECTED notification code to the creator of the document, who then can refuse or grant permission for the change. The creator is the client that created a windowed rich edit control through the CreateWindow function or the ITextHost object that called the CreateTextServices function to create a windowless rich edit control.
