How to check: File is in use

[mLipok]

for example

if I open a rtf/pdf document

how I can check state of this document (file in use)

this same question to all other files (txt , exe, ......)

[mLipok]

FileGetAttrib ( "filename" )

what's mind

"O" = OFFLINE

According to MSDN:

"The data of the file is not immediately available. This attribute indicates that the file data has been physically moved to offline storage. Applications should not arbitrarily change this attribute."

Although quite old (Sep 2007) Siao's _FileInUse() works perfectly for me on AutoIt 3.3.6.1 32-bits

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

ConsoleWrite(_FileIsUses(@ScriptDir & '\My.pdf') & @CR)

Func _FileIsUses($sFile)

    Local $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile($sFile, 2, 2, 0)

    If $hFile Then
        _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
        Return 0
    EndIf

    Local $Error = _WinAPI_GetLastError()

    Switch $Error
        Case 32 ; ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
            Return 1
        Case Else
            Return SetError($Error, 0, 0)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>_FileIsUses
