FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS enumeration

Defines values that are used with the FindFirstFileEx function to specify the information level of the returned data.

Syntax

typedef enum _FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS { 
  FindExInfoStandard,
  FindExInfoBasic,
  FindExInfoMaxInfoLevel
} FINDEX_INFO_LEVELS;

Constants

FindExInfoStandard

The FindFirstFileEx function retrieves a standard set of attribute information. The data is returned in a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure.

FindExInfoBasic

The FindFirstFileEx function does not query the short file name, improving overall enumeration speed. The data is returned in a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure, and the cAlternateFileName member is always a NULL string.

Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP:  This value is not supported until Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

FindExInfoMaxInfoLevel

This value is used for validation. Supported values are less than this value.
