Hi,
We often get the question whether it is possible to mention who locked the record of a hyperfile. For instance, someone in the organisation (>100 simultaneous users) changes an article record, gets a phone call and leaves the office for lunch without saving/ unlocking the record; leaving other users not being able to change the record, but also not telling who the heck has to be blamed for that.
I know the Windows tools to investigate who's got the lock on the file. But I do not know how Windev can investigate that. In stead of popping up a "I'm sorry, the record is locked by another user" I would rather tell "I'm sorry, Günther did it!" :-)
Does anybody know API code/ Windev code to get such information? That would be very nice....!
===> I know everything 'bout optimistic and pessimistic locking, that's not the issue here. I hope that is clear...
Have a good weekend!
