look at
FindFirstChangeNotification
FindNextChangeNotification
FindCloseChangeNotification APIs
Example
VB Code:
Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES = &H4 Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIR_NAME = &H2 Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_FILE_NAME = &H1 Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE = &H8 Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE = &H10 Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY = &H100 Private Const FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ALL = &H4 Or &H2 Or &H1 Or &H8 Or &H10 Or &H100 Private Declare Function FindFirstChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" Alias "FindFirstChangeNotificationA" (ByVal lpPathName As String, ByVal bWatchSubtree As Long, ByVal dwNotifyFilter As Long) As Long Private Declare Function FindCloseChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hChangeHandle As Long) As Long Private Declare Function FindNextChangeNotification Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hChangeHandle As Long) As Long Private Declare Function WaitForSingleObject Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hHandle As Long, ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) As Long Private Declare Function ResetEvent Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hEvent As Long) As Long Private Sub Form_Load() 'KPD-Team 2000 'URL: [url]http://www.allapi.net/[/url] 'E-Mail: [email][email protected][/email] Dim Ret As Long 'Set the notification hook Ret = FindFirstChangeNotification("C:\", &HFFFFFFFF, FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ALL) 'Wait until the event is triggered WaitForSingleObject Ret, &HFFFFFFFF MsgBox "Event Triggered for the first time" 'Reactivate our hook FindNextChangeNotification Ret 'Wait until the event is triggered WaitForSingleObject Ret, &HFFFFFFFF MsgBox "Event Triggered for the second time" 'Remove our hook FindCloseChangeNotification Ret End Sub
