Hi,
try this:

char szPath[MAX_PATH];
::GetModuleFileName(NULL,szPath,MAX_PATH);



Hope this helps,
Oleg.

You can use the function < char *_getcwd( char *buffer, int maxlen )>

GetModuleFileName ()

But that is the Window supported pathname....

Using CFileDialog will set the current working path to the directory(path) where we select the file.

How does this work?

Anybody can please tell me.

Hi, you can use two functions...first 'GetWindowFileName()' as all the other mentioned in their replies and twice 'GetCurrentDirectory()'. The first one gives you the complete path and the applications' name. The second one gives you only the working directory of your application.

Dear Andreas,

Hmmm...good question. I never tried it before. For the function 'GetModuleFileName()' microsoft provides this information:

Windows 95: The GetModuleFilename function will return long filenames when an application's version number is greater than or equal to 4.00 and the long filename is available. Otherwise, it returns only 8.3 format filenames.

So, I think it will depends on the version of the os. But I'm not sure at the moment. Sorry.
