Hello everyone,

I need to make a document ReadOnly while is open. The idea is I want to block any user interaction(modification) in front most document in some situations and of course to be able to back to RW state later.

I know is possible to Open a doc as ReadOnly, but is it somehow possible to set this attribute to an already open document? if not, what would be a good workaround for that?

Also, I found a utility interface ( IFileUtility.h ) and a method called SetFileReadOnly() but couldn't find any Boss class to aggregate this interface.
Since I want to implement this on Mac/Windows would prefer to use SDK's API for this purpose.

I'm in rush to implement this today, any helps greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kamran
