Desktop folder on WIn

[Petrus Vorster]

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?

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

Best regards.

Hi Francisco,

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

[José Roca]

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.
