Locking chart objects via Javascript API

Feature Request

Having a function to lock chart objects that have been created from a custom indicator would be nice to have. It would help minimize accidentally selecting the chart objects as users drag through the chart view. I think creating a new ObjProp would fit best:

// lock the chart object
this.api.SetObjectProperty(name, ObjProp.OBJPROP_LOCK, true)
// unlock the chart object
this.api.SetObjectProperty(name, ObjProp.OBJPROP_LOCK, false)

      As the an option, our developer offers to create static objects, true at the end of each function is responsible for the toggler isStatic

      1. this.api.CreateChartObject( objName, TObjectType.TREND_LINE, 0, timeStart, priceStart, timeEnd, priceEnd, undefined, undefined, true ) this.api.SetObjectProperty(objName, ObjProp.OBJPROP_COLOR, color, true) this.api.SetObjectProperty(objName, ObjProp.OBJPROP_STYLE, style, true) this.api.SetObjectProperty(objName, ObjProp.OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2, true) this.api.SetObjectProperty(objName, ObjProp.OBJPROP_TEXT, text, true) this.api.SetObjectProperty(objName, ObjProp.OBJPROP_FONTSIZE, fontSize, true)
