Getting File creation time

[Guest_imported]

Can C++ find the date a file was created? I can get the last access and modification time in a Perl script but was wondering if I can get the actual creation time of a file using C++????

Look into CFileStatus. It has a m_ctime member variable which holds the time created. CFile::GetFileStatus is how you use it.

Good Luck

Any books I can get to give me more informaton on the GetFileStatus?? Or anywhere I can find out how to work with it? I cant seem to find it in my books.
