void C_GetBinaryFileType(

LPCTSTR lpFileName,

int *lpFileType,

int *lpStatus

);

Parameters

lpFileName (IN)

Points to a null-terminated string containing the name of a data file or simulation file.

ftDataFile
ftStaticStateSimulationFile
ftDynamicSimulationFile

lpStatus (OUT)

Points to a variable in which the status result for the function call will be returned.
