CSIDL update

[Dave Navarro]

I'm doing a lot of stuff with SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() these days, so I updated the %CSIDL_ equates:

Should we cut & paste those equates into our Win32api.inc file?

Dave --
it's necessary to add comment "valid for ...".
For example, I see CSIDL, which are available under Win2000 only.

All but the last four are in the current Win32API. We'll get the rest
added presently. "Valid for..." is an issue we leave to the programmer.

The latest Win32API is always available from the Files section here.

A couple of those that are marked "valid for Win2000 only" actually work in Windows ME as well (from what I read in the newsgroups).

I also understand that the new IE6 update will add support for them all in Windows 98.

Tom,

Please update the text with the link where one downloads the Win32API file, somewhere in the files section.
It says "latest version somewhere in 1999". I only checked the actual file itself recently and it was very recent instead. If I had know that I would have downloaded it more often.

The latest Win32API can be downloaded from: http://www.powerbasic.com/files/pub/pbwin/
As the page notes at this time, the file was last updated on
January 4, 2001. If you see an earlier date, you're presumably
getting an old page from your browser's cache, and may wish to
set your browser to cache less aggressively.

Hmm, I wonder what happened. I downloaded the file 4 days ago on the 22nd.
I remember seeing a 1999 date but downloaded anyway and the file was very recent.
I've never seen my Netscape behave like that before...

Maybe I've been time travelling. Either that or I must have been too tired at the time.


Peter.
