similar to: getdiskfreespace

Further research indicates that GetDiskFreeSpace() is still ok for getting sector size, regardless of actual disk size. In any case, I''m going to default to 512 in the unlikely event that the call fails, rather than raise an error. Dan

Hi all, First, I just realized I''ll need to go back and fix some of the prototype declarations for windows-pr. The callback parameters will now need to be set to ''K''. ReadFileEx is one example of this. For purposes of my question, let''s assume ReadFileEx has been declared like so: API.new(''ReadFileEx'', ''LPLPK'',

Hi all, So far, so good. Things seem to work just fine and, in the case of nread, I am getting incredible performance. I can''t tell if this is due to some kind of caching, however. Anyway, there a couple of things I want to work out yet. The first is File#nread and Really Big Files. I created a 500 mb text file and sucked it into memory using Ruby''s File#read method just

Hi, I was going to modify the TaskScheduler#save method to take an optional file name. But, I need to convert a Ruby string to an OLE string. I thought I could use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692615(VS.85).aspx But, it only appears to accept literal string constants. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Dan

Hi all, Looking at the IO.readlines source in io.c, it looks to me like they grab 8k chunks, split on the input record separator, and buffer accordingly. Since it looks like ReadFileScatter() does some of that work automatically (in page file sized chunks), I thought I''d give it a try. Here''s what I''ve got, but it doesn''t work. I have an incorrect parameter

Hi, I''ve released win32-changenotify 0.3.0 today. Take a look. Park and I have discussed a Ruby interface to change journals a little bit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/creating_modifying_and_deleting_a_change_journal.asp Park, would you like to do this, or did you want me to? I wasn''t sure from your RubyForge post. Also, do

Hi all, How''s this look? I based it on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366789(VS.85).aspx. I''m undecided as to when I should raise an error versus when I should just let it fall through, but this is how it is for now. You''ll need the latest windows-pr from CVS, btw. Regards, Dan PS - Where should I put it? In Windows::File directly? In a separate helper

Hi all, Windows Vista Home Premium VC++ 9 According to MSDN, the if_indextoname() function should be included on Vista: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb408408%28VS.85%29.aspx However, I can''t get mkmf to see it. I tried all of these: require ''mkmf'' if have_header(''netioapi.h'') # yes have_func(''if_indextoname'',

Hello, I''ve been trying to use the PureRuby win32 process gem.

Hi all, I''m starting to set things up to move win32-open3 towards a pure Ruby solution. I''ve got a windows-pipe module setup, but now I need to define some of the msvcrt IO functions. However, I can''t find documentation on MSDN or my system for the following: FMODE_READABLE FMODE_WRITABLE FMODE_BINMODE MakeOpenFile() io_alloc() A recursive search on my header files

Hi all, I think I''ve narrowed down the problem with win32-file. It appears that EncryptFile() and DecryptFile are only supported on Win2k or later. So, I made some minor modifications to the extconf.rb and source files and released win32-file 0.4.2 tonight. That *should* solve that problem. As for win32-shortcut, I''m not sure why it doesn''t like IID_IPersistFile, or

Hi all, I came across this page today: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winprog /winprog/using_the_windows_headers.asp Based on that, I think we need a patch for mkmf when on Windows that sets _WIN32_WINNT automatically based on platform. This is the basic code I''ve come up with: require "mkmf" require "win32ole" require

Hi all, I''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name). The example below works for FileNameInformation but I can''t get it to work as expected for FileStandardInformation. Here''s some sample code: # query_test.rb require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::Handle

Hi, I'm having a similar problem, I get "The cluster size in this system is not supported." I get this when running wine InstMsiA.exe (using the version from microsoft.com). It comes up in a windows message box. I'm running wine from yesterday's cvs. I tried running Rein's test program from this old email and I get the following output: % wine fds 'c:\'
