Track View > Keyable/non-keyable > How to set in Maxscript?

In the Track View, there is an option to display Keyable icons next to each track name. If you click the keyable icon, you can set the track to keyable or non-keyable.

How can you set this keyable/non-keyable state using Maxscript?

In the Maxscript Help section on Track Views, here's what they say:

trackviews.current.ui.showKeyableIcons = true

"When set to true , a Keyable icon will become visible next to the controllers. Clicking on the icon will toggle the keyable state which is used to determine if Set Key will set a key for the specific track. The showKeyableIcons state is saved with the Layout, so resaving the layout with the setting turned on will bring them back the next time the layout is used."

This only turns the visibility on/off for the keyable icons themselves, not the actual keyable state. Is there another maxscript command that will actually set this state to true/false, on/off?

Thanks

Hi, every controller has read/write .keyable property so you can directly set for example obj.pos.y_position.controller.keyable = false

despite $.transform.track.position.track.keyable == false the $-object still gets animated when moving with autokey enabled. And this is in 3ds max 2018 version.
