Check file in use

Karismatic

Hi All, I am not able to find out the solution of how to find out whether a file is ready to use or not. I have tried several ways to do this but unable to do the same, please refer me to some solution.

I mean one process in writting a file which i want to access but before I open it i want to test whether it is written completely or not. I am using this code but it is not working properly // attempt to open existing file. FileHandle = CreateFile (FileName, GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); // if unable to open the file // then return failure. if (FileHandle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { // return failure. return (FALSE); } // if FileHandle // close the open file handle. CloseHandle (FileHandle); return TRUE

Why don't you use some synchronization technique between the two processes??
