Question about changing file attributes

Hello,

My application brings a support file and it copies it to another directory. Then I should make that file hidden but I cannot find a function how to do it. I guess LV doesn't have that possibility in its functions. Any pointer to a Windows component?

Thanks,

Marce

You may want to take a look at Shaun Rumball's windows_api_1.0.llb. The link to his website seems to have died, but it's been posted in this forum a lot including here.
Try GetFileAttributes.vi and SetFileAttributes.vi.

Thank you very much. The library is very useful.

I also tried to download the OpenG libraries because I expected to find such an option but for some reason itdidn't work (the download). I got an error 56. If anybody have an idea of the reason, I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Marce

I also have some problems with downloading their packages.
If you look in their forums, you will see they have a board about support for commander, where they say you should make sure you don't have the firewall enabled.
