Any reason for using CreateFile instead of FindFirstFile?

Any reason for using CreateFile instead of FindFirstFile?

Either work  just as effectively, in this case it really makes no difference. I just used CreateFile because Chilly Willy did.

Code Select Expand

ftime FILETIME <?>
stLocal SYSTEMTIME <?>
szFileTime TCHAR 256 DUP (?)
wfd WIN32_FIND_DATA <?>

Code Select Expand

invoke FindFirstFile,"D:\MyFolder",OFFSET wfd
invoke FindClose,eax

invoke FileTimeToLocalFileTime,offset wfd.ftLastWriteTime ,offset ftime
invoke FileTimeToSystemTime,offset ftime ,offset stLocal
invoke GetDateFormat,LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,NULL, OFFSET stLocal,"'Last Modified:' MMM dd, yyyy ",OFFSET szFileTime,64
push edi
mov edi,OFFSET szFileTime
mov ecx,256
xor eax,eax
repne scasw
dec edi
dec edi
invoke GetTimeFormat,LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,NULL,OFFSET stLocal,"'@' h:mm tt",edi,64
pop edi

Note:  In rare cases, file information on NTFS file systems may not be current at the time you call this function. To be assured of getting the current file information, call the GetFileInformationByHandle function.
