To C++ - Gurus from a Java - developer
If you want to check if a file is currently opened by another application, you can't do it by using
'GetFileInformationByHandle' because there is no field like 'isCurrentlyOpened', right?
For my purpose 'last access' and 'last modified' don' t work, of course.
So, how can you monitor if a file is opened by any other app.? Is it just impossible with the use
of documented functions for win32?
Does anybody have a code-snippet or a hint?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Simply open the file with a flag to deny all access to the file. If the file is opened the call will fail. Note that this won't tell you which program is using the file, only if it is being used.

Very good hint!
thanks again

Excuse me, but maybe i didn 't ask in a clear enough way:
let' s say file 'a' is already opened by (any other) application 'Z'.
then
HANDLE hFile = CreateFile(
a, //path to 'a'
GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
0, //dwShareMode
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL);
as part of my program creating the handle
does not fail (hFile is not equal INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)!
Just as the dcocumentation says: if dwShareMode is 0 the subsequent(!) calls to open 'Z'
will fail.
So, did i get you wrong?
Or should i translate your suggestion in another way into code?

hmmm 
I SEEM to remember that every object created by a process is assigned the process'es SID information...right??
could you then not grab the ProcessID from the SID and find out which application is using that pid??
Or am I WAAAAAAAAY out here???

I hit faked him with my win32 API .chm and the peabrain goes for it. I follow it up with a salvo of left's and right's sending him down hard. It's lunch time and he's getting a Champ Sandwhich Special. I said, How's that Mr. VB?! Is that 'I wanna use COM in that Server enough for you?!'
...Ever since then, I've been the Champ.

Hi,
I was looking through the Platform SDK fro Whistler Beta 2, and tried to find any information on how I would get my applications "skinned" like the rest of the programs in Windows XP.
No, they're not all skinned. All window borders are skinned - but not buttons.
I found a good example to confuse me - calc.exe.
Checking with Depends(Part of the PlatformSDK and VisualC++), it had no references to UXTheme.dll. What? Yeah - well in the sdk, they try to convince me of overriding paint functions for all my controls, and calling a DrawThemeBackground() with a lot of paramters telling it what I want to draw. DrawThemeBackground() is part of UXTheme.dll which is the whole system of drawing custom UI's. comctl32.dll uses it. Well somehow calc.exe is telling UXTheme.dll to draw all it's buttons. But I just don't know how.
I'm not go and custom paint all my controls. 
-Me, Alex

By default, apps use the v5 common controls, which don't get themed controls. You need to tell the OS to use the v6 controls for your app, which involves putting a manifest (an XML file with a particular format) as a resource in your binary.
Here's an MSDN article that lists the exact steps to take.

Dear all
How to remotely power off computer on the network?
Where to download it?
Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
It's part of the resource kit. You'll need too applications. RExec and Shutdown. First one lets you remote execute and the second does what it's named.
Cheers,
-Erik

Hi,
Curruntly, I am working on the one project, that uses low-level TCP/IP calls and NDIS to retrieve packets, analyze them, and re- targeting them to another node.
So, where can I find some information, about low-level TCP programming, packets managing, NDIS managing, ... I am tired of WinDDK, so I need some basic (not very) explanation of it's usage in the Win2K systems.
Thanks beforehand,
DMD

Hi folks,
I've created a cool doc/view app which will print several pages, w. page preview and all that stuff.
Problem is, that if I have to print a long document (having more than about 11 to 12 pages) the printing goes nuts: Page 13 overlays page 1, 14 is over 2. When there are more than about 24 pages, I get three pages over each other.
This happens under Win ME. Under Win2000 it works fine. I assume that it has s.th. to do with the int's in the windows API and the 32 bit border (hence 11 pages is about 32800 tenth millimeters...).
Has anybody run into the same problem? And how did you solve it???
