Hi Kerry
I know there's a way to find out the shared documents folder. I thought it
was in Buddy, in baSysFolder. I don't see it there, though.
There's fx_FolderGetSpecialPath("kPublicFolderType") from fileXtra for osX.
Are you looking for a win or mac solution?
Anyway you should considere having alternatives, as I've experienced that CSIDL_APPDATA doesn't exist on win98, nor CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES !! (I was really surprised, but my own old W98 box was returning "" for these values...)
By alternative I mean a list of elligible target folders like
- CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
- CSIDL_APPDATA
- CSIDL_PROFILE
- CSIDL_PERSONAL
- "C:\TEMP\"
And use the first available folder from this list... so if the system don't recognize some system variable your program will still run and have some place to work.
Hope this makes sense,
