CeFindAllFiles

The CeFindAllFiles function retrieves information about all files and directories in the given directory of the Windows CE object store. The function copies information to an array of CE_FIND_DATA structures.

Syntax

BOOL CeFindAllFiles(LPCWSTR szPath, DWORD dwFlags, LPDWORD lpdwFoundCount, LPLPCE_FIND_DATA ppFindDataArray);

At a Glance

Parameters

szPath

Pointer to the name of the path in which to search for files. Note that within the path string, two backslashes (\\) must be used to achieve a single backslash because the C language reserves a single backslash for escape characters. For example, a valid path would be "\\temp", whereas a path set to "\temp" would expand to the tab character followed by "emp".

dwFlags

A combination of filter and retrieval flags. The filter flags specify what kinds of files to document, and the retrieval flags specify which members of the CE_FIND_DATA structure to retrieve.

The filter flags can be a combination of the following values:

FAF_ATTRIB_CHILDREN

Only retrieve information for directories which have child items.

FAF_ATTRIB_NO_HIDDEN

Do not retrieve information for files or directories which have the hidden attribute set.

FAF_FOLDERS_ONLY

Only retrieve information for directories.

FAF_NO_HIDDEN_SYS_ROMMODULES

Do not retrieve information for ROM files or directories.

The retrieval flags can be a combination of the following values:

FAF_ATTRIBUTES

Retrieve the file attributes and copy them to the dwFileAttributes member.

FAF_CREATION_TIME

Retrieve the file creation time and copy it to the ftCreationTime member.

FAF_LASTACCESS_TIME

Retrieve the time when the file was last accessed and copy it to the ftLastAccessTime member.

FAF_LASTWRITE_TIME

Retrieve the time when the file was last written to and copy it to the ftLastWriteTime member.

FAF_SIZE_HIGH

Retrieve the high-order DWORD value of the file size and copy it to the nFileSizeHigh member.

FAF_SIZE_LOW

Retrieve the low-order DWORD value of the file size and copy it to the nFileSizeLow member.

FAF_OID

Retrieve the object identifier of the file and copy it to the dwOID member.

FAF_NAME

Retrieve the file name and copy it to the cFileName member.

lpdwFoundCount

Pointer to a variable that receives a count of the items found.

ppFindDataArray

Pointer to the address of an array of CE_FIND_DATA structures that receive information about the found items. It is the application's responsibility to free the memory used by the array. To free the memory you must call CeRapiFreeBuffer.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if successful or FALSE if an error occurs.

Remarks

When writing applications for Windows CE versions 1.0 and 1.01, use the PegFindAllFiles function.
