[FYI] Eliminating the delay when deleting in-use files/dirs

[majkinetor !]

This is ridiculous. We have to guess how many times func is called, download bunch of tools, loose precious time, just because he is too egocentric to show his face here and say 2 stupd words.

So, lets forget about Ghisler then, from now on, he doesn't exist for me.

I don't support Win9x in my programming. That is system that should die forever. Also, retreiving all handles in the system is different in Win9x. I use NT functions and NT types only, most important of all, I don't ever use TCHAR as type, but WCHAR.

Your proposed method GetLocker is not going to work. Snapshot needs to be created, because this is slow operation. So you will acctually always retreive info from snapshot, never directly. On the other hand acctual unlocking is different story, and lock status is as simple as calling CreateFIle API, like you already know. So, this slow part will be visible only when applications which locked the files should be displayed, which can be managed to work in background while user is watching and reading from the dialog or something similar.

You are right. But I think he is currently busy and maybe didn't look at new threads at forum yet. Don't erase him, let's wait...

Yes, I know that. That's why I wrote "data must be cached!". I mean: when I call GetLocker, it creates/updates snapshot (every minute) and returns info from that snapshot. So not every GetLocker call will be fast, some calls will be slow (when snapshot is get), but it must be transparent to me - caller. _You_ will do snapshots in your dll, not me.

When I'll need "is locked" status, I'll call CreateFile; when I'll need "is it locked, and who did lock it?", I'll call your GetLocker. Am I right?

FYI:
Ghisler usually appears here at Mondays and Thursdays. So you have to wait for tomorrow.

X*

I am here more then 6 months and I still don't know when is his time for visit.
X*, you notice things on level typical for women

[XPEHOPE3KA]

That wasn't me who noticed it. Ghisler told that himself somewhere here at the forum.

Good morning <majkinetor><space><exclamation mark>,

I see you are up very early to milk the birds today. Save a glass for me!

May I remind you that TC is a female-free zone? They have all been frightened away by gay talk and bad language. Therefore our friend X* cannot possibly be a woman - testosterone rules this forum. Progesterone ist nicht allowed!

Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.

LOL - catchy song by that Irishman who somehow always manages to look like an un-made bed.

Never mind icfu. Soon your streets will be filled with the sound of pounding samba music and 1000's of sexy, hip-shaking Brazilian chicks over to support the team.

If the beach volleyball team also comes, I'm definitely moving to Germany for a holiday!

If the beach volleyball team also comes

The men's or the women's team

[majkinetor !]

The gay team.

[SQUIRE]

The gay team.

ROFLMAO !!!

Ahem, they could be TC users, you know......

[majkinetor !]

I don't even want to think in that direction...

  somewhere here at the forum.

So, you noticed that Ghisler said that... like I said, you must have greater degree of women hormons. I don't think you are a woman or gay or eleph... like Squire, but, just that. Add to that picture that you doesn't get jokes right (like most of the women) and you will get the clear model.

[majkinetor !]

I was just kidding by the way... what was the color, Squire ?

Erm, I think it was:

Droll insinuation will be sage green

[majkinetor !]

Yup, thats the one

Thank you.
