IVsDocumentLockHolder Interface
Allows a non-editor to add an edit lock to an item registered in the running document table.
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CloseDocumentHolder(UInt32) | Called when the environment closes a document with an IVsDocumentLockHolder entry in the running document table. |
![]() | ShowDocumentHolder() | Called by the environment before prompting the user to save the invisible document locked by the holder. |
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.
