How to detect file is copied from monitored folder using ReadDirectoryChangesW ?
Posted by duraisridhar@gmail.com on December 28th, 2006


Hi All,
Can windows notify me about details of files which are copied form
monitored directory when I use ReadDirectoryChangesW API ?. I thought
of using 'FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_CREATION' filter of the
ReadDirectoryChangesW but it seems my application will be notified when
file is accessed for activities other than File copying and
notification will not issued when file is accessed within one hour,

http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q245214

My goal is find list files which are copied from monitored directory to
external device. Can I accomplish this using anyother Win32 API?.

Any help on the above will be appreciated,

Regards,
Sridar
