Function name : SetFileTime

Group: Time - Library: kernel32

Sets the date and time that a file was created, last accessed, or last modified.

Code examples:

Setting the date and time that a file was created
A procedure for setting file times
How to set Creation Date/Time for a folder (WinNT)

Declaration:

BOOL SetFileTime(
  HANDLE hFile,                     // handle to file
  CONST FILETIME *lpCreationTime,   // creation time
  CONST FILETIME *lpLastAccessTime, // last-access time
  CONST FILETIME *lpLastWriteTime   // last-write time
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER SetFileTime IN kernel32.dll;
	INTEGER hFile,;
	STRING @ lpCreationTime,;
	STRING @ lpLastAccessTime,;
	STRING @ lpLastWriteTime

Parameters:

hFile [in] Handle to the file for which to set the dates and times. The file handle must have been created with GENERIC_WRITE access to the file.

lpCreationTime [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure that contains the date and time the file was created.

lpLastAccessTime [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure that contains the date and time the file was last accessed.

lpLastWriteTime [in] Pointer to a FILETIME structure that contains the date and time the file was last written to.

Return value:

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

Comments:

As I found the VFP function FOPEN() can not create a file handle to be valid for this function, regardless of chosen attributes. So the only way to do it is the Win32 function OpenFile.
