Praveer1981 / LockFile

This Project demonstrates that only child process can access the file.

LockFile

The purpose of this sample application is to demonstrate that wkix32.exe can not run the script from a .kix file which is created using win32 API

1. Build the code using (VS2019 +). Make sure File Creator is set as active project.

2. Now we can debug the code. we can see that it throws error.

   --------------------------- >>> KiXtart <<< ---------------------------

   ERROR : failed to find/open script [F:\Praveer_Practice\vs2012\FileLock_V2\LockFile\x64\Debug\PraveerTemp.kix]!

   --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

   I think in this case wkix32.exe tries to open the file which was locked by the parent process. Eventhough, we pass the handle of the file to wkix32.exe , internally it does not use that file handle to read the file and hence it throws error. I believe that wkix32.exe uses c functions to open the file which does not need the file handle.

3. comment #define _CREATE_FILE_ 1 in FileCreator.cpp and build the code.

4. Debug the code from File Creator project. you will not see this error.
