Remarks

Implement this interface if you are implementing a wizard or another type of object that opens documents invisibly to the user—that is, if the document opens outside of a document window. By implementing IVsDocumentLockHolder, you can place an edit lock on a document in the running document table. This prevents an editor or another object from closing the file before you have finished editing it. To register a document lock holder, call RegisterDocumentLockHolder.

Notes to Implementers

Implemented by any object that wants to edit a document without opening the document in an editor (that is, in a document window).

Notes to Callers

Called by the environment to signal the closing of a document to the object implementing IVsDocumentLockHolder.
