    dwg creation date from c++

    Hi,

    I'm trying to read autocad file creation date from c++. I don't mean system file creation date, but a drawing creation date (which remains unchanged when the document is copied somewhere else). To do this, I'm using the code as below (it is just a part of the whole). It works on doc and xls files but for dwg it shows "Not a compound file". Which is not true, because windows doesn't have a problem to read the statistics (creation date included) on dwg file.
    Any suggestions where to look for the problem, or how to do this for dwg ? Isn't dwg a compound document?

    Thanks

    The code:
    // Open the document as an OLE compound document.
          hr = ::StgOpenStorage(filename, NULL,
          STGM_READ | STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE, NULL, 0, &pStorage);
    
          if(FAILED(hr)) {
             if(hr == STG_E_FILENOTFOUND)
                _stprintf_s(Result,MAX_PROPERTY_LENGTH,_T("File not found."));
             else if(hr == STG_E_FILEALREADYEXISTS)
                _stprintf_s(Result,MAX_PROPERTY_LENGTH,_T("Not a compound file."));
             else
                _stprintf_s(Result,MAX_PROPERTY_LENGTH,_T("StgOpenStorage() failed w/error %08lx"), hr);
             return DateResult;
          }
    
    Please use plain text.
