I use this syntax:

WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA fAttrs;
GetFileAttributesEx(csFilePath,GetFileExInfoStandard,&fAttrs);

And this to set the time:

SetFileTime(hFileOutput,&fAttrs->ftCreationTime,
&fAttrs->ftLastAccessTime,
&fAttrs->ftLastWriteTime);

I need a way to receive the modified time of a file (you can see this data
when you press 'properties' on a file in the file explorer) , so I've
wrote:

CTime GetModifiedTime (CString name)
{
   CFile f;
   if (f.Open((LPCTSTR)name,CFile::modeRead)) {
       CFileStatus fileStat;
       if (f.GetStatus(fileStat))
return fileStat.m_mtime;
   }
   return 0;
}

In most cases, this works just fine. the problem is that function
CFils::Open sometimes fails. (mostly because the file is being exclusivly
opened elsewhere)

Is there a way to receive this information in another way?
Maybe not using CFile at all?

Thanks very much in advanced
