This is my code for the Getting the special folder path, which is not working on the Windows 98. ( Same application works well on the Windws XP Pro.
1. Is anything remainig in my code?
2.any better way to do this task?
I have also tried following function on Windows 98, but still unable to get proper result.
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation
SHGetFolderPath
SHGetFolderLocation
Code =>
<br />
BOOL bRet ; <br />
char spath[MAX_PATH];<br />
bRet = SHGetSpecialFolderPath(NULL, (LPSTR)spath, CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES, 0); <br />
AfxMessageBox(spath);

According to the MSDN[^] CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES is not supported before version 5.0 (Windows XP)

Then how to get the Program files and other folder which are not supported in that version?
|
|
|
|

How about this.
You're program was probably installed there?
If so, use GetModuleFilename() to figure out where you run from and therefore where program files are.

According to the MSDN-page for SHGetFolderPath
"[SHGetFolderPath] is a superset of SHGetSpecialFolderPath, included with earlier versions of the Shell. On systems preceeding those including Shell32.dll version 5.0 (Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) and Windows 2000), SHGetFolderPath was obtained through SHFolder.dll, distributed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions. SHFolder.dll always calls the current platform's version of this function. If that fails, it will try to simulate the appropriate behavior. SHFolder.dll continues to be included for backward compatibility, though the function is now implemented in Shell32.dll."
And CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES is specifically mentioned as supported. That sounds as if this would work with Win98!

Another tip (from David Crow, actually):
Look at your environment variable ProgramFiles.
Is it there? Does it point to something reasonable?

Take the driver letter returned from GetSystemDirectory() or GetWindowsDirectory(), and append "\\Program Files" to it.

Hmmmpf.
IIRC, Windows 98 did localize its program path.
In Germany, we already had "\\Programme".
But I do not have a Windows98 ready to check it.

What is the value of your ProgramFiles environment variable?

I have no Win98 bootable here, but I remember hassles with the translation back then.
Here in the company I am currently working on a US WinXP with German locale settings. So I couldn't even tell for German WinXPs...

I just looked it up for a German W2K:
There its pointing to "C:\Programme"
Not that this does help the OP, though.

Why not?

He asked specifically for Win98.
That is software-archeology!

Does the ProgramFiles environment variable exist on that OS?

As I said, I don't have Win98 bootable here.
All I have are German WinXP and W2k, and both have %ProgramFiles, and it points to "C:\Program Files"
But MSDN says:
"SHGetFolderPath is a superset of SHGetSpecialFolderPath, included with earlier versions of the Shell. On systems preceeding those including Shell32.dll version 5.0 (Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me) and Windows 2000), SHGetFolderPath was obtained through SHFolder.dll, distributed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions.

Ok, but what does this have to do with my suggestion not being a possible solution for the OP? The only way it would not help is if that OS did not have the ProgramFiles environment variable. Since you cannot confirm one way or the other, how can you claim that it is not a viable solution?

OK, you are right. All I have to say in my defence is I am just starting the eleventh hour at work.

Hi Experts,
How can I add icon to ListView?
|
|
|
|
|
You can use of SetImageList.
|
|
|
|
|
I used like this
<br />
CImageList ImageList;<br />
ImageList.Create(16, 16, CLR_NONE, 0, 255);<br />
ImageList.Add(sfi.hIcon);
ListCtrl.SetImageList(&ImageList, LVSIL_SMALL);<br />
<br />
ListCtrl.InsertItem(ListCtrl.GetItemCount(),finder.GetFileName(),0);<br />
But this code is giving exception at
ImageList.Add(sfi.hIcon);//HICON
Could you please me?

Explain the exception that you see -- is it stopping on an ASSERT?

that doesn't seem like much information.
that's all the assertion says?
It doesn't sound like you ran this in the debugger -- it should stop a specific line of code.
THAT'S YOUR CLUE.

What line of what file is asserting?

Are you sure ImageList is created? did you check return value of Create what was it?
