## LockAsync(String, IEnumerable&lt;Int32&gt;)

Locks the selected values of a generic object.

### Declaration

```

          public Task LockAsync([QixName("qPath")] string path, [QixName("qColIndices")] IEnumerable<int> colIndices = null)
    
  
```

### Parameters

| Type | Name | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| System.String | path | Path to the definition of the object.<br>For example, `/qListObjectDef` . |
| System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable&lt;System.Int32&gt; | colIndices | Dimension numbers or dimension indexes where the lock should apply.<br>Dimension numbers/indexes start from 0.<br>If this parameter is not set, the selected values in all dimensions are locked. |
