Example
This example uses the GetAttr function to determine the attributes of a file and directory or folder.
Dim MyAttr As FileAttribute
' Assume file TESTFILE is normal and readonly.
MyAttr = GetAttr("C:\TESTFILE.txt") ' Returns vbNormal.
' Test for normal.
If (MyAttr And FileAttribute.Normal) = FileAttribute.Normal Then
MsgBox("This file is normal.")
End If
' Test for normal and readonly.
Dim normalReadonly As FileAttribute
normalReadonly = FileAttribute.Normal Or FileAttribute.ReadOnly
If (MyAttr And normalReadonly) = normalReadonly Then
MsgBox("This file is normal and readonly.")
End If
' Assume MYDIR is a directory or folder.
MyAttr = GetAttr("C:\MYDIR")
If (MyAttr And FileAttribute.Directory) = FileAttribute.Directory Then
MsgBox("MYDIR is a directory")
End If
