On a single dialogue we disable objects so that dialogue will always
have the same layout no matter what server you're connected to. The
design from dialogue to dialogue may change as appropriate however.

How about 'Lock DDL' for the checkbox? The message box could be something like:

Maybe 'Read only' is better.
