Icetips Utilities Documentation 2/22/2016     Core Class: IsFolderWritable

Previous  Top  Next

This method can be used to test if a specific folder can be written to or not.  If it cannot the error information are available in the LastAPIError and LastAPIErrorCode properties immediately after calling the method.  The way the method works is that it attempts to create a temporary file in the folder.  The filename is made up of a tilde character, a GUID and has a .tmp extension.  An example:  ~4944E145-1D36-401B-AD01-922685E0CA90.tmp 

Example:

ITC  ITCoreClass

PFN  CSTRING(1025)

CODE

PFN = 'C:\temp'

IF NOT ITC.IsFolderWritable(PFN)

   MESSAGE('The project folder cannot be written to "' &|

            ITC.GetFilePart(PFN, FNS_FullPath) & '"', |

            'ERROR:  Cannot write to this folder')

END
