Readfile

[DPHJetta426]

i used ReadFile and it returned ok and the number of bytes read is the size of the file but when i debug and look at what the buffer is it is only the first 3 bytes of the file and the length is 3. does anyone know why. the buffer is being allocated enough memory so that's not the problem.

IF you did something like this:

[code]
unsigned char bBytes[100];
z=ReadFile( hOrgFile, &bBytes[1], sizeof(bBytes), Ret, 0L)
[/code

compare ret and sizeof(bBytes) after the call. If they are not the same then an error condition exists - like EOF encountered.

&bBytes[1]

Just out of interest, why are you ignoring the first byte in the buffer? Surely just bBytes would be more logical?
