Samples & FindFirstFile

[Walt Decker]

SAMPLES:

On the distribution disks in directory SAMPLES\COMMON there is a COMMON32.BAS. In the function, I believe it is named GetShort there is a reference to:

GetShortPathName LongPath, ShortPath, SIZEOF(ShortPath)

However, I am unable to find procedure GetShortPathName. Where is it?

FINDFIRSTFILE:

The Win32.INC lists functions FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, and FindClose. FindNextFile and FindClose require hFindFile as a parameter. Does FindFirstFile return hFindFile along with the file parameters?

Walt,

The GetShortPathName function is explained in the Win32
Programmer's Reference (Win32.hlp) It's available on the
PowerBASIC web site at: http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/mstools/win32.zip

Walt, you guessed correctly. When you call the FindFirstFile function
it returns a search handle that you pass to the FindNextFile
function. Check the MSDN website for more info for a detailed
explanation.
