Hello. I have a C++ support class that can be used for querying directory contents on multiple platforms. You call it and it returns a list of objects with information about the files present in the directory. It is cross platform and works on Amiga OS, Linux and Windows. Each entry returned will be...

Unfortunately that defeats the purpose of symbolic links. An operation on the link is supposed to be equivalent to an operation on the target object. Coming back to this subject after a three month distraction... The conversation you have all had in this thread is all very interesting, but you have...

Hello everyone. I have some self written backup software and I have just added support for copying links. This works very well and both the link and the file it points to are now copied to the destination directory and the new link points to the new file correctly. I had to add this support to get m...

I'm not sure why you need this? Left and Right alt have distinct codes on any keyboard? (according to the includes at least) #define RAWKEY_LALT 0x64 #define RAWKEY_RALT 0x65 Andyway a combination of AskKeyMapDeFault() and ObtainKeyMapInfo() should work out what keymap you are using. Left and right...

Hello everyone. I have a use case where I would like to treat the right ALT key differently depending on the keyboard layout. On US keyboard layouts it is a "normal" ALT but on most European keyboards it is an alt-gr. But you get the same key code when it is pressed regardless of the keybo...

Hello. I have a program that opens an ASL file requester using the following code snippets (only partially displayed for clarity): struct TagItem Tags[] = { { ASLFR_Window, (ULONG) m_poWindow }, ...}; Requester = IAsl->AllocAslRequest(ASL_FileRequest, Tags); IAsl->AslRequestTags(Requester, TAG_DONE)...

Hello everyone. I have been away so have not been able to get back to this thread for a while. It seems my question was not understood, or at least I need to explain the idea behind what I want to do and why. I am writing (actually have written) some backup software which mirrors a partition or dire...

Hello all. I have a situation where I need to resolve the target of a softlink programatically. We have the dos.library function ReadSoftLink() but this is a low level function that sends a message to the filesystem. From its API it is obviously too low level for application programs and its documen...
