get EVERYTHING_ERROR_INVALIDCALL when calling Everything_GetResultDateModified

[yemanqitipo]

Hello everyone。
I want to get the modify time of a file which everything retrieves.
when I call the api Everything_GetResultDateModified， I got error code EVERYTHING_ERROR_INVALIDCALL .
I saw the doc , it says "Call Everything_Query before calling Everything_GetResultDateModified.".
But I did call Everything_Query before I call Everything_GetResultDateModified.

Did you check if you got any results back from your Everything_Query?
(with zero results itr would be hard to get any date modified )

Could you post (the relevant part of) your code?

Thank you for your reply.
1. Everything_Query got some results. Actually, I got 8 when I call Everything_GetNumResults.
2. My code snippet:

Code: Select all

void CustomSearch(std::wstring regexStr, bool regexFlag) {
    DWORD i;
    const int MAX_TIME_LEN = 60;
    char strTime[MAX_TIME_LEN] = { 0x00 };

    // execute the query
    Everything_QueryW(true);

    int numResults = Everything_GetNumResults();
    for (i = 0; i < numResults; i++)
    {
        wchar_t buf[MAX_PATH_LEN] = { 0x00 };
        Everything_GetResultFullPathNameW(i, buf, MAX_PATH_LEN);

        FILETIME dateModified;
        SYSTEMTIME st;
        bool ret = Everything_GetResultDateModified(i, &dateModified);
        DWORD dwLastError = Everything_GetLastError();
        if (dwLastError == EVERYTHING_ERROR_INVALIDCALL)
        {
            continue;
        }
        FileTimeToSystemTime(&dateModified, &st);
        sprintf(strTime, "%d/%d/%d %02d:%02d:%02d",
            st.wYear, st.wMonth, st.wDay, st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond);
    }

}

Please make sure Everything is running in the background.
Please check your call to Everything_QueryW succeeds.

Please call Everything_SetRequestFlags before calling Everything_Query and set the following flags:
EVERYTHING_REQUEST_FILE_NAME | EVERYTHING_REQUEST_PATH | EVERYTHING_REQUEST_DATE_MODIFIED

Wow！Now I call Everything_SetRequestFlags before calling Everything_Query , That works.
Thank you for reply and for the greet tool.
