CFile also supports getting file status, including whether the file exists, creation and modification dates and times, logical size, and path.
- Use the CFile class to get and set information about a file. One useful application is to use the
CFilestatic member function GetStatus to determine if a file exists. GetStatus returns 0 if the specified file does not exist.
Thus, you could use the result of GetStatus to determine whether to use the CFile::modeCreate flag when opening a file, as shown by the following example:
[!code-cppNVC_MFCFiles#3]
