I am trying to get the same Created, Accessed and Modified dates as appears in the windows properties as in:
But am finding the times are consistently 30 minutes out:
Believe it may have something to do with timezones/daylight savings but have been unable to find a solution. Have tried looking at: TimeZone Bias and adjusting and looking at different methods including: How to get create/last modified dates of a file in Delphi?
Current code:
var
MyFd TWin32FindData;
FName: string;
MyTime: TFileTime;
MySysTime: TSystemTime;
myDate, CreateTime, AccessTime, ModTime: TDateTime;
Begin
...
FindFirstFile(PChar(FName), MyFd);
MyTime:=MyFd.ftCreationTime;
FileTimeToSystemTime(MyTime, MySysTime);
myDate := EncodeDateTime(MySysTime.wYear, MySysTime.wMonth, MySysTime.wDay, MySysTime.wHour,
MySysTime.wMinute, MySysTime.wSecond, MySysTime.wMilliseconds);
Memo1.Lines.Add('Created: '+ FormatDateTime('dddd, d mmmm yyyy, hh:mm:ss ampm', MyDate));
...
Any help appreciated
Thanks Paul
I'm not sure what's wrong with your current code, but I believe this code will do what you need, using standard Windows API calls.
procedure TMyForm.ReportFileTimes(const FileName: string);
procedure ReportTime(const Name: string; const FileTime: TFileTime);
var
SystemTime, LocalTime: TSystemTime;
begin
if not FileTimeToSystemTime(FileTime, SystemTime) then
RaiseLastOSError;
if not SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime(nil, SystemTime, LocalTime) then
RaiseLastOSError;
Memo1.Lines.Add(Name + ': ' + DateTimeToStr(SystemTimeToDateTime(LocalTime)));
end;
var
fad: TWin32FileAttributeData;
begin
if not GetFileAttributesEx(PChar(FileName), GetFileExInfoStandard, @fad) then
RaiseLastOSError;
Memo1.Clear;
Memo1.Lines.Add(FileName);
ReportTime('Created', fad.ftCreationTime);
ReportTime('Modified', fad.ftLastWriteTime);
ReportTime('Accessed', fad.ftLastAccessTime);
end;
procedure TMyForm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
ReportFileTimes(Edit1.Text);
end;
