get date file created

[Timothy 123]

Hi,

Is there a way in labview to get the date that a file is created, the file/directory info vi returns when a file was modified. I was wondering if there was a vi to get a timestamp of when the file was created, like when you right click a file in windows and the properties show the date that the file was created.

Thank you,

Tim

Tim,

Unfortunately, there is not built in Vi that can give you the file creation date. You can still retrieve the file creation date by making a few calls to KERNEL32.DLL. There is an example implementation on the discussion forums that should be helpful located here.
