how to know if a new tab is openned read only on beforeopen event

[Michel Sauvard]

I make some analysis on the filebeforeopen event.
Is there a way to know if the file is openned with the -ro flag.notepad.
getCommandLine works only from a new session and editor.getReadOnly is not possible because the file is not openned yet.

I think it is only possible when using external modules like win32file.

import win32file

def callback_FILEBEFOREOPEN(args):
    _file = notepad.getBufferFilename(args['bufferID'])
    fileatt = win32file.GetFileAttributes(_file)
    if fileatt & win32file.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY == 1:
        console.write('read only\n')

notepad.clearCallbacks([NOTIFICATION.FILEBEFOREOPEN])
notepad.callback(callback_FILEBEFOREOPEN, [NOTIFICATION.FILEBEFOREOPEN])

Thanks but that was not what I meant.
I open the file whith the -ro switch but the file itself is not read only.
I dont have win32file but I just verified, with os.stat, that the file is not temporarily set RO by notepad

Oh, I see - no, I don't think that you can get these information within the filebeforeloaded callback,
but you could get it in the bufferactivated callback. I assume there is still enough time to call
notepad.close before you see the content of the file. As i tested it, there was a flickering but nothing
what was really annoying, at least for me.

Thanks it works.
I just have to detect that it is the first activation using a global just used between beforeopen and bufferactivated in attempt to avoid concurency
