TFileTime
« on: January 17, 2020, 12:27:53 pm »
I'm converting a project from Delphi.
It uses Delphi functions:
TFileTime
SystemTimeToFileTime()
SetFileTime()

These don't seem to have Lazarus equivalents.
Any ideas?
Regards

Thanks.
Found that I needed to include 'Windows' in the 'uses' section.
On to the next problem...the form changes size between design mode and run mode...I'll post a new question.

Though there's no problem if your program is only for Windows, you don't need to use the Windows unit. As Handoko said, there are equivalent cross-platform functions in SysUtils (DatetimeToFileDate and viceversa, DateTimeToSystemTime and viceversa, FileAge, FileSetDate, etc.) and other units which would allow you to move your program to, say, Linux or MacOS without having to touch your code (at least in this respect).
