removing read-only file attribute with VLisp and API

Anonymous — Sun, 10 Mar 2002 21:10:27 GMT

Greetings all,

I’m using Windows 2000 Pro, AutoCAD 2002 and VisualLisp.

I am trying to toggle off the read-only attributes at the file level using Vlisp and API. I have to believe that it is quite possible. Has anyone tried to do this? And, can anyone get me started down the right track.

Thanks,

Tyler

Hi Tyler

Visit my homepage -> Free Stuff and search for 'VxGetFileInfos'...
This function gets the file properties, but you've also the possibility
to set some of the file properties with 'vlax-put...'.

Hi Tyler,

You can always use DOSLib's DOS_ATTRIB function. You can
download DOSLib for free from
