ReportFileOpenStatus Function

Overview

The ReportFileOpenStatus checks for a Application File Control (AFC) cookie and reports its information in a user-friendly manner.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = ReportFileOpenStatus ( string name );

Parameters

name

A string containing the filename and path. This parameter supports UTF encoding for filenames with Unicode characters.

Return Value

Returns an int as ERROR_NONE on success and non-zero if there was an error. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

The ReportFileOpenStatus function attempts to locate an AFC cookie corresponding to the file specified by the name parameter. Because the function does not check file access status, it should be called to display information to the user if a file access function, such as the OpenFile function, returns ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION. If the file specified in the name parameter is open in another application, a more generalized sharing violation message may appear.

The message box may contain extended information in an expansion section, which can be accessed via an arrow button.

Example:

More information is shown when the message window is expanded:

If an AFC cookie for the file cannot be found, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_EOD.
