Of course it is...but the exact behavior of Windows Notepad in terms of file handling is not documented and can only be observed.umbra wrote:So it's no wonder it emulates Notepad as much as possible.
What I mean is that every Program approaches that different...programming file handling in MFC in Visual Studio is completely different than in .Net, JAVA or things like MinGW.
So propably, if you don't follow file handling recommendations from Microsoft or it's just your goal to be able to do it anyway then you end up like this: we have a lot of programs that allow writing locked files and many that don't.
