Hi Mikhail,

First off all, thank your for your reply.

I'm intending to do it through a third party application. This is a browser plugin, which enables you to open files which are located online, just as they where on your local pc. This works fine, except that I'm facing difficulties in monitoring whether the file is open or has been just closed. I now see I have to do some reading up on the OS file locks...

Cheers,

Dirk

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
