IAppLockMgr Provides access to members that control the application lock manager.

Remarks

The AppLockMgr coclass is used to control locks on shapefiles and coverages, so no two users can make changes to the same dataset. It is pretty much the same idea as with relational databases lock to prevent multiple users from making conflicting modifications to a set of data. Lock types are specified by esriLockMgrType enumerator.
