Close Handle and FindClose

[ashokvishnu]

Hi Gurus, While using FindFile, FindFirstFile, CreateDirectory functions, if the return is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE do we still need to use the CloseHandle or FindClose functions to close the handle anyways? Thanks

Yes..you need to CloseHandle even if the value is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE

Did you see MSDN? From the MSDN: "INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError."

Um, no. If you get a return value of INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, it means the function failed.
