how to hide txt file through cpp(file is created by program)

[rajeshgoblet]

good evening friends.
I am creating a file from a c++ program. i want to know that can i hide it through the same program. like we create a file from fstream or ofstream by opening it in append ot output mode. then if file is already there it is replaced & if it is not there it is created. like...

#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    fstream afile;
    afile.open("test.txt", ios::out);
    afile << "file matter";
    return 0;
}

now i want this "test.txt" file to be hidden by default.

String* path = S"test.txt";
File::SetAttributes(path, static_cast<FileAttributes>(File::GetAttributes(path) | FileAttributes::Hidden));
