Some file problems

[Paul]

The attached EA writes a tick count to a file with a handle that is open all the time.

 

If I use FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE then notepad can't open the file until it is closed, see below - this is not the same as the behaviour of identical code in MT4, which will allow notepad to open up the file.

 

 

Other issues

1. I thought that I might have to use FILE_SHARE_WRITE to get it to work, but nothing gets written to the file at all
2. FileSeek returns void and should return bool.

1. Try to use combination FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_READ

2. There is mistake in documentation. FileSeek returns void and should not return bool
