Hi,
I want to use the GetFileAttributes function for checking if the file is a directory. The MSDN Page page tells me to check the return value for INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES (in case of error). I'm including windows.h but still the compiler gives an error on INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES. I know I can use 0xFFFFFFFF (or -1) in stead but I'd like to know where the INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES is located. Can someone tell me?
Using Windows NT 4.0 SP6 and VC++ 6.0 Pro
Thanks in advance,
Monster

I don't know for sure, the best I got from a search was this:

When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
The old version of the documenatation (that ships with VC++) deatils that return as 0xFFFFFFFF for errors.......
As more recent versions came out, it seems this was typedef'ed for INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES in WinBase.h..
Best bet, be sure to download the most recent platform SDK...that way, the documentation on MSDN will be better mached to the decalartion in your headers
Thanks guys.
And the most recent platform SDK is included in the latest Service Pack? (I'm using SP5)
