Protecting code is only possible for Reports in NAV 2017 with Extensions.

IN NAV 2016 you can protect Table, Codeunit and Pages only but with 2017 the extension actually hides everything that is custom.

With Extension you will not be able to see the object in object designer.

Read about Extension and the core idea behind extension in Events and subscriptions.
