How about dialog box for move, rotate and scale.
Sometimes When I move, rotate and scale something, accurate transform is almost impossible.
Just have to type numeric. It's too inconvenience.
and We needs object lock like camera block to prevent unwanted move, rotate and scaling.

But all this - appart from object locking is already available in Object params - or am I missing the point? Note, that Ctrl+ MMB-dragging lets these boxes works like spinners.

Here?
Ok, it's horizontally, not vertically aligned and axis labels are missing.
Here you can move, rotate and scale stuff. If you dont want enter numbers, hold Ctr+MMB and drag. Can't say, if there's missing something, as I generally do not like this "static pivot approach" in transforming objects, you can find in Max, Cinema, Maya... I am spoiled by the flexibiltiy of Rhino in this respect and build my scenes there.

Aha, thanks. I missed ctrl+MMB function.
Now, how can I lock an object to unmoveable?

You don't have to hold Ctrl, just MMB drag in any number box and it will scroll through the numbers.

Yes, correct. Should have tried it bevor posting... If you want to hold Ctrl., you can do so however

Thanks Mihai.
Now please give me an answer my second question about object lock.

Would be an added bonus i guess but it's hard to move/scale an object accidentally in Studio since you first have to select it and then enter Move mode to be able to move it.

Yes, you're right. If I using object params to move, it's hard to accidentally select. but nevertheless object lock functon would be nice.
