strange behaviour from API SHGetFolderPath ()

3 New Member
Dear All,

I wrote a sample application for client/server and using the API SHGetFolderPath (). For this application most of document's Path (like MyDocuments,MyP ictures,MyVideo ), The API is returning the HRESULT Error value as "0x80070002 - The System cannont find the file specified"

Where as the same API works with the standalone appplication.Ki ndly add your suggesstions or inputs to resolve this problem.

Thanks in Advance........ .......

Did you try moving the file into the same folder your program as in (just to make sure it can see it locally)? Did you backwhack/escape all the slashes in the path? Can we see the code where you call the file?

Hi all, I am developing software for Linux Redhat9 and I have noticed some very strange behaviour when throwing exceptions within a shared library. All our exceptions are derived from std::exception. We have a base class which all processes derive from which is always instantiated in main surrounded by a try/catch(std::exception) which catches all exceptions that have not be handled at a higher level. The catch block cleans up and...

I tried posting this in comp.programming yesterday but someone kindly suggested that I'd have better luck here. So here goes! My program ignores any command line arguments, or at least it's supposed to. However, when I pass any command line arguments to the program, the behaviour of one of the functions changes mysteriously. I have...

I need a patch that is returned by API's SHGetFolderPath with CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS. I expected to find it among other enums in Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration. But I cannot find it there. Do I really have to PInvoke SHGetFolderPath in this case? Why someone forgot about this one CSIDL? Is it just an annoying omission or there is a deeper reason for this? what's more: there's a mistake in a MSDN doc. it says:...

Hi all, A Windows service (which obviously starts before any user logs in) is failing to: - read something from registry from a key under the HKCU - try to find out the user path by doing the following call: SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_APPDATA, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, path) if any of these is tried before a user logs in. My question is: are these 2:
