Topic: Opening object on locked layer for read

[Jeff H]

If you are opening an object for read does it make difference what you pass for forceOpenOnLockedLayer to GetObject()?
I guess it does matter if you pass an argument other than a bool but other than that is there any difference in performance penalty one way or the other?

As far as I know, that parameter is ignored when you're opening for read.

TT, what about if you open for read then later UpgradeOpen()?

[Jeff H]

Here is a little command line output
When opening for read succeeds for both false or true.
 
When opening for write if fails for false and succeeds for true.
 
When upgradeOpen is called it fails for both.
 
So for entites on locked layers
Opening for Read
-When opening for read pass what ever the hell you feel like as is does not matter.
-UpgradeOpen with throw elockedlayer error no matter what you used when opened it for read.
 
Opening for Write
-If you pass true will open
-if you pass false will throw error
 
No matter what a call to UpgradeOpen will throw an error.

Thanks Jeff ... saves me running a test

Yeah thanks Jeff.
