How to test if a folder is open?

[MarcoBoschi]

I have this problem

There is a menu item that give the possibility to open a folder

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

MENUITEM "Open Folder " + cMyFolder   ACTION SHELLEXECUTE( 0, 0, cMyFolder ,  0, 0, 1 )
 

I give also the possibility to rename the name of the Folder cMyFolder into cMyFolderNew in some other patrts of the program

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

      frename( cMyFolder , cMyFolderNew )
 

Is not possible to rename a folder if the folder is open

before changing the name I always warn to close the folder
but in 90% of cases the folder is closed, so I would first
test if it is open and only in this case to alert.

How can I test that the folder is open?

if it were a file I could open it in exclusive mode

any hints

IF !MOVEFILE( cMyFolder, cMyFolderNew )
    // folder could not be renamed

Many Thanks Enrico,
and what about check only?
It would be great if there was a function for this

Bye
Marco

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

IF !MOVEFILE( cMyFolder, cMyFolder )
    // folder could not be renamed
ENDIF

Note that the same name is using.

Another question:
Is it possible to close an open folder?

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

MENUITEM "Open Folder " + cMyFolder   ACTION SHELLEXECUTE( 0, 0, cMyFolder ,  0, 0, 1 )

MENUITEM "Close Folder " + cMyFolder   ACTION SHELLEXECUTE( x, x, cMyFolder ,  x, x, x )

 

where x is a particular value?

Thanks again
Marco

Just open another (the original?) folder.

[MarcoBoschi]

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "fivewin.ch"
FUNCTION MAIN()
LOCAL cMyFolder    := "n:\hse\400"
LOCAL cMyFolderNew := "n:\hse\001"  


SHELLEXECUTE( 0, 0, cMyFolder , 0, 0, 1 )
? "aspetta"
SHELLEXECUTE( 0, 0, cMyFolderNew , 0, 0, 1 )

RETURN NIL

Enrico only if the folder name is the same it works
if the name is differente the second folder is opened and the first remains open

Try using SetCurDir().

Error: Unresolved external '_HB_FUN_SETCURDIR' referenced from C:\FWH_NEW\SAMPLES\SETCUR.OBJ
too old my version?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include "windows.h"
#include "hbapi.h"


HB_FUNC( SETCURDIR )
{
    hb_retl( SetCurrentDirectory( hb_parc( 1 ) ) );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#Include "FiveWin.ch"

Static cDirName

function Main()

   #Ifdef __XHARBOUR__

      cDirName := CurDrive() + ":\" + CurDir()  // xHarbour

   #Else

      cDirName := hb_CurDrive() + ":\" + CurDir()  // Harbour

   #Endif

   ? cDirName

   SetCurDir( cDirName )

Return nil

This is a working sample:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL cCur := CURDRIVE() + ":\" + CURDIR()

    LOCAL cDir := "MYTESTDIR"

    ? "CREATEDIR()", CREATEDIR( cDir )

    ? "SETCURDIR()", SETCURDIR( cDir )

    ? "ISOPEN()", ISOPEN( cDir )

    ? "SETCURDIR()", SETCURDIR( cCur )

    ? "ISOPEN()", ISOPEN( cDir )

    RETURN NIL


STATIC FUNCTION ISOPEN( cDir )

    RETURN !MOVEFILE( cDir, cDir )


#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include "windows.h"
#include "hbapi.h"


HB_FUNC( CREATEDIR )
{
    hb_retl( CreateDirectory( hb_parc( 1 ), ( LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES ) hb_parnl( 2 ) ) );
}


HB_FUNC( MOVEFILE )
{
    hb_retl( MoveFile( hb_parc( 1 ), hb_parc( 2 ) ) );
}


HB_FUNC( SETCURDIR )
{
    hb_retl( SetCurrentDirectory( hb_parc( 1 ) ) );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP
