umm shouldn't you be able to do a
try
FS := TFileStream.Create(...);
except
// catch the exception if the file was already open
end;
Short of some API searching I'd guess the easiest way to identify if they
have
exclusive open is to try to open it with sharing. If you need to use the
file exclusively
then open with no file sharing.
