convert file descriptor to FILE pointer or file stream on windows

[high_flyer]

1. What does this have to do with Qt programming?
2. Why do you use CreateFile if you want to use FILE or fstreams?
Just initilaize an fstream object, or use FILE C style all the way...

I need to lock the file but Qt doesnt provide any, so using operating systems API's to make that happen... Any idea????

Use _fdopen once you have the file handle.
