locking objects in design mode

Sog

I'm working on a project with multiple designers.
When busy writing code in an object (tabel, form, report, ...), an other developer can open the same object and edit it. And whoever finishes editing last overwrites the changes form the other developer.
Is it possible to detect wether an object is in designmode and can it be locked so another developer can't design that object at that time.
I'm thinking in the lines of a singleinstance codeunit.

There are some tools availeble.
Like WindowWatcher, DesignGuard or some others.
The most of these tools check the Caption of a opened objects.
There are also some posts about these theme here.

Not sure where it is, but if I remember correctly, Rashed (ara3n) created a tool to do this in SQL. Its probably in MiBuSo Tips and Tricks or Downloads.
