This function retrieves information about all files and directories in the given directory of the Windows Embedded CE object store on a remote device.


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

szPath

[in] Null-terminated string contains 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

[in] 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.

Value Description

FAF_ATTRIB_CHILDREN

Only retrieve information for directories that have child items.

FAF_ATTRIB_NO_HIDDEN

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

FAF_FOLDERS_ONLY

FAF_NO_HIDDEN_SYS_ROMMODULES

FAF_CREATION_TIME

FAF_LASTACCESS_TIME

FAF_LASTWRITE_TIME

FAF_SIZE_HIGH

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

FAF_SIZE_LOW

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.

FAF_FLAG_COUNT

Count of flags. For internal use only.

lpdwFoundCount

[out] Long pointer to a variable that receives a count of the items found.

ppFindDataArray

[out] Pointer to the pointer to 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.
