Hi there, i was wondering if anyone could help me a bit...

I need to be able to "lock" certain options on Openoffice so that the user cannot change these values (he should be able to change other values though...)

after searching a while through the developer guide and several more places, i was thinking that I might be able to do this through the slots-usage where I probably can lock down the particulare settings in the OOo gui so that the user cannot change the values from within openoffice, while this will work with 98% of all the users that is going to run openoffice (students in a school) the remaining 2 percent will probably figure out that they can edit the settings by hand by editing the configuration files (I cannot lock these down for editing in the filesystem, since they should be able to change some settings but not all)

after reading some more I was thinking that I might be able to do this by using a configuration backend that ties into OOo and makes sure that the settings are what they should be when the user starts OOo (so even if he manually changes the file, the "locked" properties will remain with the values I have set.

anyway, looking over the developers guide, and using google, I cannot find any good information on how to code this configuration backend (using java) so I was wonderign if anyone in here have done anything similiar and might be able to help me!
