Returns

Returns the file attribute as returned by the GetFileAttributes api.

This method retrieves the file attribute for the specified file, i.e. if it is a read-only, hidden or system file. You can pass in byte variables to receive the information. It is overloaded with a method that takes a *CString parameter so it can be used with both String and CString variables.

Example:

ITC ITCoreClass

f CString(2049)

ro Byte

hi Byte

sy Byte

Code

f = 'c:\temp\myfile.txt'

ITC.GetFileAttrib(f,ro,hi,sy)

! ro, hi and sy will now either be true or false depending on if the individual attributes are set for the file.
