you could also use the GPL-licensed Servertec Foundation Classes (SFC), which have a stec.sfc.Win32.File::getShortPathName().

in the end, parsing the output of dir /X might be the easiest solution.

AFAIK, there is no "method" for such "conversion". Only you can do is retrieve from filesytem 8.3 filename variant (if exists in filesystem).
