Begin
    // Get workspace for editing
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    wsp := mb.ItemById("WSP").Edit As IWxWorkspace;
    // Get shape
    wsp.BeginUpdate;
    Shape := wsp.Shapes.FindById("Shape1");
    Group := Shape.Parent As IWxGroup;
    Group.AllowObjectSelection := False;
    wsp.EndUpdate;
