Title: Desktop folder on WIn
Post by: Petrus Vorster on February 26, 2017, 07:38:27 AM
Hi all

I saw this once, but cant find it.
How do you locate the Desktop folder from your program.

I need to create a TXT file to the Desktop to upload numbers to an SMS tool.

May be something stupidly simple i am overlooking again. :-[

You can #include "AfxShell.inc" and call the function AfxGetDesktopFolder.

Jose,
Just curiosity, what "Afx" prefix you use for so many of your includes stands for?

Hi Francisco,

My vote goes to "Application Framework Extensions".  :-)

Yes, Pierre is right. Borrowed from Microsoft C++.

"Application Framework eXtensions", to be exact.

Pierre, Jose,

Thanks a lot.
I don't like to memorize acronyms without knowing its meaning.

Best regards.
