        error found

        When I insert files via the clipboard, then the program crashes.
        The files must ca 5 to 6 times repeatedly inserted with the right mouse.

        Debugger reports:
        Invalid Address specified to RtlFreeHeap (00150000, 0015FE20 ) <0A>

            The Code isn`t up to Date!

            To get the TargetPath from a .lnk file use this Method:
            PowerBasic provides the use of Interfaces..
            Declare:
            LOCAL PowerSh AS IWshShell
            PowerSh = NEWCOM "WScript.Shell"
            LOCAL PowerLnk AS IWshShortcut
            LOCAL strLnk, strPath as STRING
            Code:
            strLnk = FullPath of .lnk ' <- in
            PowerrLnk = PowerSh.CreateShortcut(UCODE$(strLnk)
            strPath = RTRIM$(ACODE$(PowerrLnk.TargetPath))

            THAT`S ALL..

            To get other Parameter from Member`s of IWSshShortcut:
            E.g.:
            WorkPath= ACODE$(PowerLnk .WorkingDirectory)
            IconPath=PARSE$(ACODE$(PowerLnk.IconLocation),1)

            Regasrd`s

              Hi Jurgen,

              I'm playing with your code this evening and get an error "Undefined Type" for IWshShell - PBWin9/10.

              Do you have a short compilable that demonstrates the code?

                You need to generate it with a COM browser from file wshom.ocx, but be aware that the one generated with the COM browser for PB 9 will be slightly different to the one generated with the browser for PB 10. For unicode strings parameters be had to use UCODE$/ACODE$ and BYVAL STRPTR in PB 9 and with PB 10 we just have to use WSTRINGs.

                  Because there is always someone that complains about using Windows Script Host, I have written some wrappers that use the IShellLinkW interface, e.g.

                  Code:
                  ' ========================================================================================
                  ' Gets the path and file name of a Shell link object.
                  ' - wszLinkPath = The path of the link object.
                  ' Example: ? AfxGetLinkTargetPath("C:\Users\Pepe\Desktop\Lynx.lnk")
                  ' ========================================================================================
                  FUNCTION AfxGetLinkTargetPath (BYREF wszLinkPath AS WSTRINGZ) AS WSTRING
                  
                     ' // Create an instance of the IShellLink interface
                     LOCAL pSlk AS IShellLinkW
                     pSlk = NEWCOM CLSID $CLSID_ShellLink
                     IF ISNOTHING (pSlk) THEN EXIT FUNCTION
                  
                     ' // The IShellLink Interface supports the IPersistFile
                     ' // interface. Get an interface pointer to it.
                     LOCAL ppf AS IPersistFile
                     ppf = pSlk
                     IF ISNOTHING(ppf) THEN EXIT FUNCTION
                  
                     ' // Load the file
                     LOCAL hr AS LONG
                     ppf.Load(wszLinkPath, %STGM_READ)
                     IF SUCCEEDED(hr) THEN
                        ' // Resolve the link by calling the Resolve method.
                        ' // This enables us to find the file the link points to even if
                        ' // it has been moved or renamed.
                        pSlk.Resolve(0, %SLR_ANY_MATCH OR %SLR_NO_UI)
                        ' // Get the path of the file the link points to.
                        LOCAL wszPath AS WSTRINGZ * %MAX_PATH
                        LOCAL wfd AS WIN32_FIND_DATAW
                        hr = pSlk.GetPath(wszPath, %MAX_PATH, wfd, %SLGP_UNCPRIORITY)
                        IF SUCCEEDED(hr) THEN FUNCTION = wszPath
                     END IF
                  
                  END FUNCTION
                  ' ========================================================================================
                  But require the use of my headers, since you can't generate interface definitions for IShellLinkW and IPersistFile with a COM browser.

                  It does the same that the GetLinkInfo function in your post, but in a more human readable way.

                    Hi Jose,
                    Regarding your comment:
                    ... complains about using Windows Script Host...
                    I was thinking just the opposite this morning - that WSH seems to be a vastly underutilized, but potentially very useful, coding option. It's on my list to learn more about!

                      During many years I have provided examples. 99,99% of the questions that I have received have been "What if WSH is not installed?". My replies were always the same: "Install it".

                      So far, I have translated the VBScript Regular Expressions Examples to PB 10. See: http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smffo...p?topic=4384.0

                      And I'm working in traslating the Windows Script Runtime, Windows Script Host and Microsoft Script Control examples to PB 10. Currently, they are available in the version for PB 9: http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smffo...hp?board=251.0

                      I'm also writing an help file documenting all the M$ Scripting technologies usable with PB. It is almost finished and updated to PB 10 (I have to revise it to see if it needs some changes). See attached file.

                      I have also an example, updated to PB 10, to demonstrate how to host VBScript in a PB application: http://www.jose.it-berater.org/smffo...p?topic=4383.0

                      I also have a class, CDictionary.inc, that eases the use of the Dictionary object.

                      What else do you need?

                        Hi Jose,

                        Just in case you mis-understood my comment, let me clarify. I am quite pleased with your work and am looking forward to using it. You've created plenty of material to enable the use of WSH in apps.

                        My comment was that I was surprised to see that programmers in the forums are not using the WSH capabilities, an enabled by your efforts, in their applications, i.e., I don't see a prevalence of WSH code examples by most programmers. It seems to me that WSH represents another set of API to use to our benefit.

                          And dozens, and dozens, and dozens of other technologies that your inquiring mind will discover little by little. Currently, about two thirds of what the Windows API provides are in the form of low-level COM servers. This probably will incrase greatly with Windows 8, since I have heard that M$ is working in a Windows Runtime implemented as low-level COM servers to ease its use with .NET and other languages and technologies. The underlying Windows API will continue to exist, otherwise they will break all existing applications, but the new APIs will be easier to use to those that know low-level COM programming. Apparently, they want to put some order in the uncontrolled old Windows API.

                          PB 10 is an almost perfect compiler to use low-level COM, yet I'm only seeing attempts to use it to do OOP. Why? I don't know.

                            Probably because it isn't free.

                            Also it works pretty well for creating simple COM servers, so what's to tell? I don know about complex ones - not my waters.
