Hi All:

Does anyone know how to determine the path of your application at runtime. Ie, what directory all your pibbles and stuff is?

Thanks alot,

Mark
 
Hi,

You could use

Code:
FUNCTION	ulong		GetCurrentDirectory (ulong nBufferLength, ref string lpBuffer) Library "KERNEL32.DLL" Alias for "GetCurrentDirectoryA"

However, if the user has used any system browse dialogs since starting your application then the returned value will be the last directory they browsed to. Capture the directory early on in your application initialization.

Cheers.
