Hi,
if i call a windows API function for special folder, like:
uses
...
shlobj;
var
AppDataPath: Array[0..MaxPathLen] of Char;
begin
SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0,AppDataPath,CSIDL_STARTUP,false);
end;
I get on a german localized Windows XP a path containing "\Startmenü\", but the "ü" is "?" in the resulting string.
Howto convert the chars in AppDataPath to get the "Umlauts" correct?
According to msdn SHGetSpecialFolderPath is not supported by Microsoft.
Instead, use ShGetFolderPath.
Unit LazFileUtils has already a more sophisticated implementation
for UTF8. I added
function SHGetFolderPathUTF8(ID : Integer) : String;
