[c++] How to check if directory exist using C++ and winAPI

How do I check whether a directory exists using C++ and windows API?

If linking to the shell Lightweight API (shlwapi.dll) is ok for you, you can use the PathIsDirectory function

This code might work:

//if the directory exists
 DWORD dwAttr = GetFileAttributes(str);
 if(dwAttr != 0xffffffff && (dwAttr & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)) 

0.1 second Google search:

BOOL DirectoryExists(const char* dirName) {
  DWORD attribs = ::GetFileAttributesA(dirName);
  if (attribs == INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES) {
    return false;
  }
  return (attribs & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY);
}
