Get office document properties

[Alex]

Is there a way to get the properties (specifically the path\file name) of the
current open document from .net? I have a ,net application which using
windows message hooks, detect when an office application is opened or got
focus. I need to get the document name and path without actually opening it
since I don't have any information about it except the window handle.

You can perhaps do the following:
1. Get the ProcessId corresponding to the window handle using
GetWindowThreadProcessId().
2. Enumerate all open file handles for this process id.
3. Most of them will be DLLs/add-ins but some of them will be
..doc,.ppt,.xls.
