Я написал код для этой цели для одного из моих проектов.При этом используются функции API FindFirstChangeNotification и FindNextChangeNotification.Вот код (я удалил некоторые части, специфичные для проекта):

Это обеспечивает два класса;класс потока, который контролирует папку на предмет изменений и, если изменение обнаружено, возвращает текущее время изменения и предыдущее время изменения через событие OnFolderChange.И класс list для хранения списка потоков мониторинга.Этот список автоматически завершает каждый собственный поток, когда он удаляется из списка.
Надеюсь, он вам поможет.
