I *just* know there's a function to do this, but I can't
find it:
I want to take the following string:
c:\winnt\233424 32sss\2343243cc c\32432432423ee ee\2432424cc\t
tt\xxx\tttt\xxx \explorer.exe-ph33334
into something like:
c:\winnt\...\ex plorer.exe-ph33334
Is there a function to do this?
And a related question:
Is there a 64 char limit to the NotifyIcon text? If so,
can I override it?
Thanks.

You need to look for the position of the second and the last "\", create
substrings and concatenate them. Use InStr/InStrRev or
String.IndexOf/String.LastInde xOf. Watch out for the exceptions (ie. file in
root directory).
And a related question:
Is there a 64 char limit to the NotifyIcon text? If so, can I override it?
ToolTip text must be less than 64 characters long. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stexttopic.asp
Always look in MSDN for answers to your questions.

Ron,
In addition to Herfried's suggestion of PathCompactPath , there is
PathCompactPath Ex that accepts a length instead of a HDC.
Something like:
Declare Auto Function PathCompactPath Ex Lib "shlwapi.dl l" (ByVal pszOut
As String, ByVal pszSrc As String, ByVal cchMax As Integer, ByVal dwFlags As
Integer) As Boolean
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim stringIn As String
Dim stringOut As String
stringIn =
"c:\winnt\23342 432sss\2343243c cc\32432432423e eee\2432424cc\t tt\xxx\tttt\xxx \
explorer.exe-ph33334"
stringOut = New String(" "c, 34)
PathCompactPath Ex(stringOut, stringIn, stringOut.Lengt h, 0)
stringOut = stringOut.Trim( ChrW(0)) ' remove trailing null char
Debug.WriteLine (stringIn, "String in")
Debug.WriteLine (stringOut, "String out")
End Sub
Hope this helps
