Getting the working directory.

[zikar]

Hi,

I have a little application running on a Pocket PC.
How do I know the working directory from inside the application ?
I need to know that to be able to save data at the same place where the application resides and not at the root.

I assume you do not want to know the working directory, but the directory where the .exe file is located.
The GetModuleFileName() Win32 API function tells you that:

  TCHAR appPath[MAX_PATH+1];
  if( GetModuleFileName(NULL, appPath, MAX_PATH) == 0 )
  {
    //failure
  }
  else
  {
    CString tmpStr(appPath);
    int pos = tmpStr.ReverseFind((TCHAR)'\\');
    if( pos == -1 )
    {
       // your EXE is in the root directory
    }
    else
    {
      appPath[pos] = (TCHAR)'\0';  // that's it!
    }
  }

Thanks a lot. It works.

I know I am late to answer.

But anyway thanks. I was busy and didn't have time to read this before ...
