API FindFirstFile searches for files based on long and short names(8+3).
If i need to search files based on long names only .
How can i do ?Is there any other API which does search based on long names
only.
Any help is appreciated.

No, there is not. Your only practical recourse is to use FindFirst/NextFile
to return information on all files and check the long names yourself.
