Is there some way to determine whether the file is in use? Topic is solved

[xin.songtao]

Hi, everyone.

I create a file,and then open it with other apps or process(such as Firefox,IE),and when create the file again, I should determine isopend or not, and alert the user to close first.

Is there some way can be achieved?

thanks.

if that another app uses file locks than yes. You may query existing locks and act appropriately.

However most often application would open file, read it, close it immediately, then proceed to display its contents. That way, file is long closed and not used at all even if its content is still on screen.

I generated a video,and embedded it in a Web page, open it with the browers(such as Firefox,IE).

How to query the existing locks? Is there some way in wxWidgets?


Thanks for your reply.

There is function called isopen()
I dont remember where but it is in file. Just search wxDocs for that word.

Hi,
I use this code to test if the

Code: Select all

fileToWrite

is using.

Code: Select all

wxFile file(fileToWrite);
if (file.IsOpened())
{
wxMessageBox( _("The files are used. Please close the browser before proceeding."));
			return false;
}

but the first time,this is ok,but the following it always return false(IsOpend() return true);

At last, I have to remove the file for test.

Code: Select all

if (wxRemoveFile(fileToWrite)==false)
{
wxMessageBox( _("The files are used. Please close the browser before proceeding."));
			return false;

}
