Hi Dirk,

OOo2.x versions use the system file locking. So it depends from the OS, how the locked file is handled. The easiest way seems to be to try just to open a file for editing ( with the appropriate system locking ). It is not clear in which context you are going to do it. Will it be third party application, or an Office add-on or something else?

Best regards,
Mikhail.

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask... I already tried the forum, but no answer over there. I also searched the web quite a lot, but no luck.

I'd like to know how the file locking of OpenOffice files works in version 2.* (I did find a document about locking in 3.*, but that doesn't seem to apply to 2.*).

To be more specific, I'd like to know if and how I can see if a file is currently opened by Open Office, without using Open Office.

I hope my question is clear....

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Dirk Bonenkamp
