This function sets the date and time that a file was created, last accessed, or last modified. A remote application interface (RAPI) version of this function is CeSetFileTime (RAPI).

BOOLSetFileTime( HANDLEhFile, constFILETIME* lpCreationTime, constFILETIME* lpLastAccessTime, constFILETIME* lpLastWriteTime );

Parameters

  • hFile
    [in] Handle to the file for which to set the dates and times.

    The file handle must have been created with GENERIC_WRITE access to the file.

  • lpCreationTime
    [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure that contains the date and time the file was created.

    This parameter can be NULL if the application does not need to set this information.

  • lpLastAccessTime
    [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure that contains the date and time the file was last accessed. The last access time includes the last time the file was written to, read from, or (in the case of executable files) run.

    This parameter can be NULL if the application does not need to set this information.

  • lpLastWriteTime
    [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure that contains the date and time the file was last written to.

    This parameter can be NULL if the application does not want to set this information.

Return Values

Nonzero indicates success.

Zero indicates failure.

Remarks

Not all file systems support all file time parameters. The Windows CE object store stores only one file time and it can be set by any one of the three parameters.
