Problem: GetCurrentDirectory or any other similar function in eVC++4.0

Hi All,

I am writting applications for PPC2003 via eVC++4.0.

I tried to get the current directory by function GetCurrentDirectory(..),
but I failed. After compilation I got "error C2065: 'GetCurrentDirectory' :
undeclared identifier". I guess eVC4.0 does not support this function since
I could not find it in Help. Does anybody know how to use this function, or
any other function under eVC4.0 to get current directory or position?

Thanks in advance.

John


//My codes:

//Test
DWORD nBufferLength;
LPTSTR lpBuffer;

GetCurrentDirectory(
nBufferLength,
lpBuffer
);//Test

In WinCE there is no concept of 'Current Directory'.

Windows CE has _no_ support for current directory. Never has. So you
need to use full paths for all calls that reference files. If you pass
NULL as the first argument to GetModuleFileName, you can get the full
path for your executable, and can parse that to get the directory.
