    Try the Vista/Windows 7 forum.

    It's time for a new signature.

    I'm on Windows XP, so that didn't strike me as being quite right? Thanks, Chris

      You might also find http://pinvoke.net/[^] useful if you're just looking for the function itself. :)

      That looks good, thanks! The problem is more that I don't know the name of the function I'm looking for. I can find related functions, but not quite what I'm looking for.

        Hi all, I'm looking for info about how to do something that I think needs a Win32 API call (but I don't know which one) - can anybody tell me which forum is best for asking in? Thanks, Chris

          Win32 questions go to the C/C++/MFC forum.

          Watched code never compiles.

            I have raised this with the administrators, keep an eye on here[^] for their response.

                  Disclaimer: This is not intended as a programming question, and I'm only stating the problem here because I was asked. I'm trying to write an app that finds and saves a list of all files containing a set of keywords on a Windows XP machine as part of a data audit. Windows Explorer can perform this search, but not export the results of the search. So I figure that the search in Windows Explorer is powered by some DLL somewhere that not only searches files that are plain text (as would be easy in .Net) but also Word, Excel files etc. So what I could do with is a DLL that can search a given directory, with parameters for date range, and will search inside files for a given string.

                      You are talking about using the Indexing service. Here's[^] an example of doing it with ASP.NET (for instance).
