| Yep, you can do this through the Windows API. See SetFileAttributes on MSDN For your decls file: .lib "Kernel32.dll" GetFileAttributes%(in_filename$):"GetFileAttributesA" SetFileAttributes%(in_filename$, in_attributes%):"SetFileAttributesA" SetFileAttributes test code:
; Create a normal test file
file = WriteFile("test.txt")
WriteLine(file, "Testing...")
CloseFile(file)
; See current file attributes
Notify GetFileAttributes("test.txt")
; Change file attributes to hidden and readonly
;SetFileAttributes("test.txt", 3)
; Change file attributes to system only
;SetFileAttributes("test.txt", 4)
; Change file attributes to hidden, system, readonly
;SetFileAttributes("test.txt", 7)
; Change file attribute to hidden, archive
;SetFileAttributes("test.txt", 34)
; Change file attributes back to normal
SetFileAttributes("test.txt", 128)
; See current file attributes
Notify GetFileAttributes("test.txt")
FYI... FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY = 1 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN = 2 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM = 4 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY = 16 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE = 32 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DEVICE = 64 FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL = 128 |
